Product Description
The most iconic and beloved Italian cookbook ever published—a treasury of over 1,600 definitive regional recipes.
In 1929, two years before The Joy of Cooking was published, and two decades before The Silver Spoon in Italy, Ada Boni wrote The Talisman of Happiness—the original must-have culinary bible for Italians.
Boni wrote Talisman for anyone longing for a taste of the traditional, and included notes offering kitchen insights with the occasional bit of stern guidance. Whether you are a seasoned cook or are just beginning your culinary journey, Talisman offers the gift of good luck alongside timeless recipes that embrace the true spirit of Italian cuisine: cooking to feed the body and nourish the soul.
