Author and editor

In France they have Larousse. In Italy they have Ada Bono, historically the book an Italian bride was given on her wedding day. Compiled from recipes from all over the country given by friends and readers, this is actually the book on which the better-known Silver Spoon is based with one important difference. These are genuine recipes from Italian households of the 1920s. They are not chef recipes. A real taste of original Italian cuisine. A new translation is slated for 2021.
