Synopsis
First published in 1891, Pellegrino Artusi's La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangier bene has come to be recognized as the most significant Italian cookbook of modern times. It was reprinted thirteen times and had sold more than 52,000 copies in the years before Artusi's death in 1910, with the number of recipes growing from 475 to 790. And while this figure has not changed, the book has consistently remained in print. Although Artusi was himself of the upper classes and it was doubtful he had ever touched a kitchen utensil or lit a fire under a pot, he wrote the book not for professional chefs, as was the nineteenth-century custom, but for middle-class family cooks: housewives and their domestic helpers. His tone is that of a friendly advisor - humorous and nonchalant. He indulges in witty anecdotes about many of the recipes, describing his experiences and the historical relevance of particular dishes. Artusi's masterpiece is not merely a popular cookbook; it is a landmark work in Italian culture. This English edition (first published by Marsilio Publishers in 1997) features a delightful introduction by Luigi Ballerini that traces the fascinating history of the book and explains its importance in the context of Italian history and politics. The illustrations are by the noted Italian artist Giuliano Della Casa., More than a collection of recipes, Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well, was first published in Florence in 1891. Artusi's masterpiece is a literary classic as well as a classic in the art of Italian cooking. Artusi, an urbane and witty narrator, speaks directly to his readers and provides a wealth of stories and anecdotes that provide a valuable study of domestic Italian history and folklore.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.

    This is the SINGLE Must Have "Escoffier Cookbook" of Italian Cuisine

    This is the main masterpiece cookbook of Italian cooking. It is like the 1898 Escoffier Cookbook of French Cooking. This is WHERE it all started. A must have for every kitchen according to Stanley Tucci!!! I agree.
