Italy's beloved cookbook, Il Cucchiaio d'Argento, is getting a fresh look for its 12th edition. This iconic recipe book, a staple in Italian kitchens since 1950, has been reimagined with a new cover design by artist Olimpia Zagnoli. The redesign is a collaboration with cultural design studio Bunker, who worked closely with Zagnoli to create a visually captivating and timeless design. The new cover features a playful take on the book's iconic spoon, with a character licking it, adding a fun and unexpected twist. The spoon's rounded silhouette is repeated in the character's eyes and on the book's spine, creating a cohesive and memorable design. The color palette, inspired by gastronomy, complements ingredients from asparagus to chestnuts, reflecting the book's focus on Italian cuisine. The 2,000+ recipes include traditional dishes and 150 new ones, with sections dedicated to vegan dishes, pantry organization, and shopping list tips, making it a comprehensive guide for modern cooks. The redesign aims to maintain the book's usefulness while keeping it relevant and appealing to a new generation of food enthusiasts.
