At long last, Italy's version of our "Joy of Cooking" has been translated into English. So why just a three-star rating? Primarily because I've no idea where to purchare mutton or jackrabbit- the latter being in a chapter separate from just rabbit. Given that I don't eat these guys anyway, couldn't I just ignore the meat chapters and concentrate on the "Molds and Puddings" or the fish chapters? Not quite- I haven't seen Striped Mullet for sale lately (ever). The Silver Spoon makes for a colorful read, but the recipes are impractical for everyday use. Italian-Americans will be disappointed- you will not find your Southern Italian grandmother's Sunday dinner courses in these pages, so don't bother looking. Rather, enjoy this as a curiosity and try a few of the less exotic of modern Italy's recipes.
