    Is there any Italian around who cannot cook? ;-)

    I wonder if that is a new cookbook or a re-edition of an older one.
    My โ€œRecipes and Memoriesโ€ of Sophia Loren is from in the the 1990s, a Christmas gift, I donโ€™t buy โ€œcookbooksโ€ by celebrities (beautiful to look at, though, with Alison Harrisโ€™ gorgeous photography and dinner plates and serving pieces from Richard Ginori).

    I traveled to Lausanne in August, to see the Edward Hopper exhibition at the Fondation de lโ€™Hermitage. The exhibition is closed, but I noticed a large vegetable garden in its surrounding park. That, and its location high above Lausanne, well worth the walk up the hill!

    Dear merisi, about your question David Rocco has a lovely quote โ€œโ€Iโ€™m not a chef, Iโ€™m Italian.โ€ :) This is gene i guessโ€ฆ By the way u may have concerns about celebrities book but this one is very sincere, she even wrote about table plan, entertaining guests even winesโ€ฆ Very hearty:)

    Sophia Lorenโ€™s cookbooks are utterly fantastic! Filled with amazing recipes and the best stories. They should all be brought out for reprinting. Sheโ€™s so much fun on talk shows, especially when cooking. I donโ€™t think many people realize how intelligent Sophia is. Publishers, are you listening?

    • Gabe Gonzalez

    It seems unusual that the gas on the burner is lit behind her. Perhaps the photographer wanted that blue to play off of the blue in her apron.

    โ€œCon amoreโ€, that all that matters. She is just gorgeous! Enjoy your trip.

    Love it! I collect old cookbooks and this would be a perfect addition to my collection! Please tell me you bought it!

    • Lori Jablons

    This made my day. Thanks! :)

    @Merisi: We are not allowed to be legally Italian unless we can cook. :-)

    Belissima! My grandmother loves her, she grew up in Pozzuoli, which was very near where my grandmother grew up. Maybe I should send her this cookbook, although she does have an adversion to cookbooks in general.

    • Enzo

    My mother had the book and she loved it.
    Thank you David for bringing back happy memories.

    • olga

    That better be pasta dough sheโ€™s working on. Everything she is, she owes to spaghetti, according to her.

    • Jean Marie

    @GabeGonzalez โ€“ I donโ€™t think the blue in the background is a lit burner but part of the bow from her apron strings.

    • Peter Mahanidis

    This is hilarious! Who would have thought she could cook. Even celebrities from years ago were throwing on a kitchen apron and acting like they could cook!! Good for them. Makes for an interesting read I would imagine.

    • homegrown countrygirl

    David, did you buy the book???

    • Monica

    I got this book from my italian grandmother when she passed away.. and itโ€™s in italian.. I love cooking from it (great recipes and yes she can cook) it makes me feel a bit close to her.

    • Celia

    I wish I looked that good when I make pasta!

    • Kiki

    Ooooh, mia Sophiaโ€ฆ. I LOVE her tremendous smile, her curvy body, her oozing charm โ€“ and I am a very happily married woman`! What a treat โ€“ I think if ever I stumble upon this cookery book, Iโ€™d probably buy it tooโ€ฆ. I love beautifully photographed cookery books and I own tons of them but never use any because I just look at the photos โ€“ maybe I get some inspiration but then cook nearly always without recipes. but the books are utterly gorgeous!
    Thank you for this upload David+++

    Nice hair!

    • Tammy

    Not to be picky, but Sophia is no โ€œcelebrityโ€ (a la Paris or LiLo or some such) as an earlier commenter mentioned, she is a straight-up, old-school star, and from what little I understand, one of the few to actually understand and love cookingโ€ฆ

    • Marie Vighan

    Sophia Loren a cook book! I found this book in June and gave it to my granny as a birthday present, she enjoyed in reading and cooking from it.

    • deb

    This is my fatherโ€™s ONLY cookbook (er, the english version). Heโ€™s had it since his bachelor days. Obviously, Iโ€™m stealing it next time Iโ€™m home; thanks for reminding me about it.
