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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArtusi'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Michele Scicolone \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: \u003cem\u003eA as in Artusi, G as in Gentleman and Gastronome\u003c\/em\u003e by Luigi Ballerini \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Story of a Book That Is a Bit Like the Story of Cinderella \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003eFrom the Author to the Reader \u003cbr\u003eA Few Health Guidelines \u003cbr\u003eThe Nutritional Value of Meats \u003cbr\u003eAdmonition \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Recipes: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBroths, Aspic, and Sauces \u003cbr\u003eSoups and Pastas with Broth \u003cbr\u003ePasta Dishes and Soups in Vegetable Stock \u003cbr\u003eAppetizers \u003cbr\u003eSauces \u003cbr\u003eEggs \u003cbr\u003eDoughs and Batters \u003cbr\u003eStuffings \u003cbr\u003eFried Foods \u003cbr\u003eBoiled Meats \u003cbr\u003eEntrements \u003cbr\u003eStews \u003cbr\u003eCold Dishes \u003cbr\u003eVegetables and Legumes \u003cbr\u003eTypes and Seasons of Fishes \u003cbr\u003eRoasted Meats \u003cbr\u003ePastries, Cakes, and Sweets \u003cbr\u003eCakes and Spoon Desserts \u003cbr\u003eSyrups \u003cbr\u003ePreserves \u003cbr\u003eLiqueurs \u003cbr\u003eIce Creams \u003cbr\u003eMiscellaneous Recipes \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix \u003cbr\u003eFoods for Weak Stomachs \u003cbr\u003eSuggested Dinner Menus \u003cbr\u003eLuncheons \u003cbr\u003eList of Recipes \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex I: Names of Dishes in Italian \u003cbr\u003eIndex II: Names of Dishes in English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52653103743256,"sku":"9780802086570","price":34.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/science-in-the-kitchen-and-the-art-of-eating-well-paperback-softback-9780802086570","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
