Antonio Latini's "The Modern Steward, or the Art of Preparing Banquets Well"

A Complete English Translation

Ed. Tommaso Astarita

Antonio Latini (1642–96) was an Italian cook, steward and banquet manager whose book of cooking and household management, Lo scalo alla moderna (The Modern Steward), published in Naples in 1692–94, is famous for the first recipes with tomatoes, but also illustrates the transition from courtly Italian cuisine to the French style. This volume presents the first complete translation of Lo scalo, with introduction and glossary.
