Il Talismano is and has been for over 20 years the one great outstanding Italian cook book. It is to Italians what Joy of Cooking or Fanny Farmer's Cook Book is to Americans. It contains, in simple and clear form and for home quantities and usage, the right recipes for all the notable delicious foods and dishes that make up the best Italian cuisine. Included are the correct recipes for all the various styles of Italian Cooking: Milanese, Bolognese, Venetian, Neapolitan, Sicilian, Roman, Genoese, Sienese, Veronese, Florentine, etc.

Now, in this first American edition weights and measurements, all instructions and terms, have been adapted to American usage and the American equivalent ingredients have been indicated where the Italian product may be difficult to obtain. It is as easy for American cooks to use as any standard American cook book and yet expert cooks will find in it a wealth of truly precious new recipes.

Mme. Ada Boni, editor of Italy's leading women's magazine Preziosa, is the foremost Italian expert on cookery. Il Talismano, standard for Italians throughout the world, has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and is now in its sixteenth Italian edition.
