Collectible! As New The Art of Eating Well by Pellegrino Artusi 1820-1911

As new. Small mark as pictured ITALY'S MOST TREASURED COOKBOOK Translated by Kyle M. Phillips "Pellegrino Artusi is a household god in Italy. He was the first to recognize that Italy's culinary gold lay in the hands of its mothers and grandmothers, and he was the first to transform their typically vague descriptions of family favorites into recipes anyone could cook." CORBY KUMMER, New York magazine Before Marcella Hazan, Giuliano Bugialli, or Ada Boni, there was Pellegrino Artusi. A prosperous Florentine silk merchant, Artusi was also a passionate gastronome, and over his long life collected a large number of recipes for the foods he loved to eat and serve to his many guests. In 1891, he collected them into a cookbook, La Scienza in Cucina e l'Arte di Mangiar Bene, for which he could not find a publisher. So he published the book himself. Over a hundred years later, Artusi's book is still selling in every bookstore in Italy. It has gone through 111 printings, and a copy can be found in almost every Italian home. Now, this all-new translation of The Art of Eating Well makes Artusi's culinary classic available to American cooks. From soups, pastas, roasts, and stews to desserts, preserves, liqueurs, and specialty dishes, it is a treasury of classic Italian food, forgotten delicacies, and clever variations on perennial favorites of the Italian table. It is as much a source of inspiration and innovation in the kitchen today as it was in the 19th century. ISBN 9780679430568
