Sinossi
"Di Voi, Signore e Signorine, molte sanno suonare bene il pianoforte o cantare con grazia squisita, molte altre hanno ambitissimi titoli di studi superiori, conoscono le lingue moderne, sono piacevoli letterate o fini pittrici, ed altre ancora sono esperte nel tennis o nel golf, o guidano con salda mano il volante di una lussuosa automobile. Ma, ahimè, non certo tutte, facendo un piccolo esame di coscienza, potreste affermare di saper cuocere alla perfezione due uova al guscio." Ada Boni così iniziava, quasi settanta anni or sono, la dedica alle lettrici in una delle prime edizioni de "Il Talismano della Felicità" manuale di cucina, che raccoglieva in maniera ordinata e sistematica tutte le ricette da lei pubblicate, sin dal 1915.

This cook book and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the recipes and they put me into a diabetic coma. I really enjoyed the the parts on how to grind great coffees and different blends as well as the baking.
I have a very old edition of this book and I love it for sentimental reasons - it was the first gift my husband gave me when we were first dating (some 50 years ago). His mother was Italian and she had an even older edition. It kind of became my introduction to authentic Italian cooking and the kind Leggi tutto
The bible of Italian cooking, a must have!
I'd read that it was considered a classic, and it certainly is a period piece. The best thing about it is a forward written for the 1950 edition. I doubt I'll use any of the recipes, but it's interesting to think of a time when Italian restaurants in the US were thought of as 'exotic'.
This is not your Mother's cookbook. It could be your Grandmother's or Great Grandmother's. Lots of interesting recipes, but totally lacking in illustrations, photos or detailed instructions. If your cooking skills are not fully developed, you will have difficulty with the recipes as the narrative is Leggi tutto
