2012 Reprint of 1945 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. At the
age 71, Artusi completed his cookbook, but could not find a
publisher. So he used his own money to self-publish, selling a
thousand copies of the first edition in four years. Soon, however,
the cookbook caught on, and before Artusi died, more than 200,000
copies had been sold. Filled with amusing anecdotes as well as
recipes, the book is a perennial best seller in Italy, and has been
translated into Spanish, Dutch, German and English, and most
recently, Portuguese. The most important reason for Artusi's
continued popularity, is that the book is fun. Artusi was a
bon-vivant, a noted raconteur, and a celebrated host; he knew many
of the leading figures of his day and read widely in the arts and
sciences. Almost half his recipes contain anecdotes or snippets of
advice on subjects as varied as regional dialects and public
health: While you may open the book to find out how to make
Minestrone or a German cake, you will probably read on to find out
how Artusi escaped cholera, or what the Austrian troops who
occupied Northern Italy in the 1840's were like.
