5.0 out of 5 starsreview of new edition
By Alla S. VINE VOICE on October 25, 2011
Format: Hardcover
"The Silver Spoon: New Edition" is an updated version of the original Silver Spoon cookbook. The original cookbook was published in Italy in 1950, and has only recently been translated into English, originally published in the U.S. in 2005. The new and updated version of this cookbook boasts over two thousand recipes, as well as accompanying full length photographs (in my opinion, the most important attribute of a cookbook) of many of the recipes described.

The chapters are divided into Notes about cooking (including the glossary of many cooking terms mentioned in the book, as well as a section devoted to "tools and equipment" with accompanying illustrations), sauces/marinades/flavored butters, antipasti/appetizers/pizzas, first courses, eggs and frittata, vegetables, fish/crustaceans/shellfish, meat and variety meats, poultry, game, cheese, dessert and baking, menus for festive occasions, menus by celebrated chefs, and list of recipes accompanied by an index.

Each page consists of several short recipes, and, for the most part, a photograph of one of the dishes on the adjoining page. As expected, the recipes are absolutely mouth-watering. They include such recipes as: rosemary and cheese rolls, smoked trout, octopus in red wine, stuffed eggplants, avocado and tomato canapés, Tuscan anchovy crostini, crab and apple tartines, Parisian brioches, curried chicken puffs, onion soufflé, four seasons pizza, cream of truffle soup, eggplant and ricotta lasagna, mushroom tortelloni, Milanese risotto, smoked salmon crepes, shrimp with salmon mousse, bread frittata, glazed turkey, baked ham, roasted pork with lemon, duck with peaches, blackberry tart, pear crown, mocha cake, apple fritters, and walnut and coffee cake among many others.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsNEW EDITION Review!! This book is fantastic!
By SandrasKitchenNook on June 14, 2013
Format: Hardcover
First of all, I want to be clear that this review is for the new, 2011 edition. This book has been updated and includes 400 new photographs. I was blown away by the size of this cookbook, and things just kept getting better from there. The quality of the book is outstanding with nice quality paper, sewn binding and a ribbon bookmark. I was a little surprised that there was only one bookmark as another cookbook from the same publisher that is much thinner has two bookmarks. This book could really use at least two, but that's a minor detail and does not detract from the overall book quality. The sewn binding gives it a sturdy feel that gives you the comfort that this book isn't going to fall apart if you use it very often--which I fully plan to do!

First, I have to address complaints I saw in other reviews (I'm assuming they are for the older edition). Some complained that even though they were well versed in making "Panna Cotta", this recipe didn't work. I know it's shocking that as much as I love Italian food I had never made "Panna Cotta" before! (I know, I know. I feel mortified to even admit it!) However, using the recipe from this book I was able to create a truly lovely "Panna Cotta" even tweaking the recipe a bit! I have to make another confession; I started the recipe before pulling out all of the ingredients--something I rarely do--only to discover my daughter had used the last of the sugar making sweet tea. I ended up substituting confectioner's sugar and held my breath. Wow!! Pretty sure I'll be making this often as it was a huge hit with my family. The consistency was so silky and smooth. It was a joy to eat. If there were problems with this recipe, they have obviously been fixed.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsIf you get just one cookbook, get the new red cover Silver Spoon! Far and away my favorite!
By Ziv on November 23, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I loved the old Silver Spoon (White cover) for the variety of the recipes and the relatively straightforward directions. I didn't like the shabby photographs that so many of the recipes got, and sometimes it was hard to figure out what the photographed recipe was because it was ill-lit or the photograph was a page or two away from the recipe.
The new red cover Silver Spoon is nearly perfect! The recipes are still great and there are hundreds of more pages of material. And the photographs of the dishes are much, much better! The directions in the recipes tend to be a bit bare bones, but the scope of the cookbook is phenomenal!

5.0 out of 5 starsAuthentic, healthy recipes and a wonderful layout.
By Amazon Customer on November 10, 2014
Format: Hardcover
I have an entire shelf on my bookshelf dedicated to cookbooks and this one is by far my favorite and the one I use the most. I make one of its pizza recipes once a week! The recipes are authentic but simple, and most are very healthy. The ingredient proportions are well-tried, although some recipes may leave one or two flavorings up to your discretion, and I've never had to majorly tweak a recipe.

I find the layout of this book to be the standard by which I judge all others. Each page has, on average, 3 or 4 recipes. There will be the name of the dish, a paragraph under that with the instructions, and the ingredients listed on the side with the amount of servings. Every few pages, there is a full-page color picture (about one for every 6 recipes). There are also over 2,000 recipes, which would not be possible if every single one had a picture! I personally don't care for some new cookbooks that have a picture on every page, since they usually end up having fewer recipes and seem more about presentation than cooking food, but I know that some people are more visual and are helped by pictures. I feel like TSS strikes a good balance.

The book's size can be intimidating, but there are so many treasures in it! I definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys cooking Italian food.
