Specialist Notes
The monumental work printed for the first time in Rome in 1790, attempts to recover a national dimension of Italian cuisine while appreciating the richness of local and regional traditions, attributing them the same dignity as national traditions. The work is aimed at the cooks of the courts and, as a true cosmopolitan, reveals that it is always possible to prepare a princely table by surpassing the French models and inventing new dishes in every European city by adapting the Parisian professional lexicon.
