One of the elements which make the book Science in the Kitchen ant the Art of Eating Well truly unique is the way it is written. Artusi is witty, ironic, and always an accomplice of the reader. He “tells” his recipes, as it were, cramming them full of stories and anecdotes. Reading this book, with its vivid and colorful expressions which may be either popular or literary, is always a pleasant experience. La Scienza in cucina is a book to be used and consulted certainly, but also one to be read at leisure in the kitchen or lounge, with the lightness of those who, like Artusi, love to do things carefully but without taking themselves too seriously.

On 23rd November, presentation of the advance complete Polish translation of “Science in the Kitchen ant the Art of Eating Well” by professor Tessa Capponi-Borawska and by Malgorzata Jankowska-Buttitta.

The exhibition illustrates Pellegrino Artusi’s life and work and the genesis of his renowned “practical manual”.
