Talleyrand supplies the epigraph, a marchesa supplies the lessons: over two hundred Italian recipes taught inside a house party story, one cooking conversation at a time. The Cook's Decameron wraps genuine instruction in Edwardian fiction, from risotto onward. A cookbook you can read like a novel, and cook from afterward. Join the guests.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
