Notes

"La Scienza in Cucina e L'Arte di Mangiar Bene manuale Pratico per le Famiglie" compilato da Pellegrino Artusi (744 ricette) was first published in 1891; the second edition was published by Salami Editions in 1907 with the addition of an extra 22 recipes. Since then many Italian editions have been published (mostly exact copies of the original 1907 edition). A selection of recipes from Pellegrino's famous Italian cookbook, "La Scienza in Cucina e L'Arte di Mangiar Bene" was compiled by Olga Ragusa and published in English by the American publisher, S.F. Vanni in 1945. This cookbook entitled, "The Italian Cook Book" can be found in its entirety at www.archive.org. Some of the recipes from Olga Ragusa's edition are also present on this website.Recently entire English translations of this book under the title "Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well" have been made available, including one from The Toronto of University Press. Most of the text from The Toronto of University Press's recent translation can be found at WWW.BOOKS.GOOGLE.CA (It's free). The North American publishers are calling the book a classic, which it is, and showing reverence to the man who complied from various sources over 700 traditional Italian recipes. As the book was first published in 1891, over 120 years ago, the recipes in the original Italian book are copyright-free. Any photos or editors' personal notes added to the original text in updated editions, and/or translations of the recipes may not be copyright-free as they were not published prior to 1923 (This is the date the Library of Congress gives as needed for a text to be copyright-free, unless, of course, its author and/or the authors' heirs willingly give up ownership to the work and puts it in the public domain). Notes on PELLEGRINO ARTUSI FROM WIKIPEDIA: Pellegrino Artusi (pronounced [pelleˈɡriːno arˈtuːzi] was born August 4, 1820 near Florence, on March 30, 1911), he is best known as the author of famous Italian cookbook "La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiare bene" (The Science of Cooking and the Art of Eating Well). Son of a wealthy pharmacist named Agostino (called Buran, or "little eel") and Teresa Giunchi, Pellegrino marcello Artusi came from a large family; he had 12 siblings. He was named Pellegrino in honor of Saint Pellegrino Laziosi of Forl. Like many wealthy children, he went to seminary school in the nearby town of Bertinoro. Between the years 1835 and 1850, Artusi spent a great deal of time in student circles in Bologna (in one of his works he claims to have been enrolled at the University). In the bar "Tre Re" he met the patriot Felice Orsini, from Meldola another town near Forl. When he went back to his hometown, he took over his father's business, making quite a bit of money, but the lives of the Artusi family were permanently disrupted by the arrival in Forlimpopoli on January 25, 1851 of the outlaw Stefano Pelloni, nicknamed the Shepard. He took all of the upper-class families hostage, one by one, and held them captive in the city theater, including Pellegrino Artusi's family. After stealing as much as possible, the bandits raped several women, one of whom was Gertrude, Artusi's sister, who went crazy from the shock and had to be put in an insane asylum. The following year, the family moved to Florence. Here, Pellegrino began working in finances, and he also dedicated his time to two of his favorite hobbies: literature and the art of cooking. His sisters got married and his parents died and so he was able to live off his inheritance thanks to the land the family had in Romagna (in Borgo Pieve Sestina di Cesena and Sant'Andrea di Forlimpopoli). He bought a house in D'Azeglio square in Florence, where he quietly lived out his life until 1911 when he died at age 90. Single, he lived with just a butler from his hometown and a Tuscan cook. He was buried in the San Miniato al Monte cemetery. His most famous work is La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiare bene (The Science of Cooking and the Art of Eating Well). The title is clearly of a positivist bent. Artusi worshiped progress and the scientific method, which he used in his book. He was also an admirer of the physiologist Paolo Mantegazza. His book, in fact, can be considered a "scientifically tested" manual: every recipe was the result of trials and experiments. Writing only two decades after the unification of Italy, Artusi was the first to include recipes from all the different regions of Italy in a single cookbook. He is often credited with establishing a truly national Italian cuisine for the first time.... The case of minestrone and cholera. Of particular interest is the story told by Artusi himself regarding a bad experience which occurred during the summer in Livorno in 1855, when Artusi came in contact with cholera, the infective disease that in that era took many lives in Italy. Once in Livorno, Artusi went to a restaurant to have dinner. After eating minestrone, he decided to rent a room in the building belonging to one Domenici. As Artusi would later recount, he spent the whole night suffering from horrible stomach pains, which he blamed on the minestrone he had eaten. The next day, returning to Florence, he got the news that Livorno had been hit by cholera and that Domenici had been a victim. It was only then that he realized what had happened: it had not been the minestrone that made him ill, but the early symptoms of the disease. The event inspired Artusi to write an excellent recipe for minestrone. ....Works. There are three works by Artusi: two non fiction books and a cooking manual. The non-fiction works, a biography of Ugo Foscolo and a critique of Giuseppe Giusti, went largely unnoticed and quickly went out of print. His manual, however, entitled La Scienza in cucina e l'Arte di mangiar bene, was much more successful. In 1891, at age 71, he 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. In 1904, Artusi published a practical manual for the kitchen, with over 3,000 recipes and 150 tables, simply entitled "Ecco il tuo libro di cucina" (Here is your cookbook) with the anonymous participation and influence of the baroness Giulia Turco. Dedications. Festa artusiana ? Artusi Festival Since 1997 the municipal of Forlimpopoli, Artusi's hometown, has celebrated Artusi with the "Festa Artusiana", an event completely dedicated to food in all of its forms: gastronomy, culture, and entertainment. Each year during this festival the "Pellegrino Artusi Prize" is awarded to the person who gives the most original contribution to the relationship between man and food, and the "Marietta Prize", named after Pellegrino Artusi's collaborator, is given to a housewife or househusband who are ? in the spirit of Pellegrino and Marietta ? able homemakers.
