The Cook's Decameron by Mrs. W. G. Waters
A study in taste, containing over 200 recipes for Italian dishes
Table of contents where chapters are broken up into days, then recipes where food categories are listed.
Preface acknowledges her spouse for suggestions and recommendations in this revision.
Prologue is also included with so many different topics of discussion.
Chapters listing days seem to be a course study of dishes to make with requirements. The English is quite formal and unfamiliar to me in the context.
Dishes are mentioned and given credit to others.
Recipes have a intro page before recipes actually start.
Recipes are not written out in format we are used to. They are spoken and words written down as to how to make them.
Recipe starts with a number then the title. Ingredients are listed but not quantities.
Directions are given how to make the item and added spices and herbs and then written.
There are NO pictures and NO nutritional information.
Other books from others are mentioned at the end.

Authentic Italian Recipes

This book has a lot of great authentic Italian recipes! It's a bit difficult to make sense of some of them, and not very easy to navigate (hence only 4 stars), but that's what book marks are for.

A collection of recipes — good ones, too — with a story behind them. Cleverly presented.
