| Summary |
"Il piccolo focolare: Ricette di cucina per la massaia economa" by Giulia Lazzari-Turco is a collection of practical cooking recipes written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide economical and accessible culinary guidance, particularly for working-class women who may not be familiar with cooking techniques or a variety of ingredients. The focus is on simple yet nourishing meals that can be prepared with limited resources, making it suitable for those who seek to optimize their kitchen skills in various contexts. The opening of the work presents a preface where the author reflects on the challenges of creating a collection of recipes tailored for economically constrained homemakers. It emphasizes the importance of familiarizing these women with more varied culinary practices beyond their traditional fare, arguing that many are unaware of the healthier and more economical food options available. Following this introduction, the first chapter starts with a discussion on bread as a staple, providing several detailed recipes for different types of bread. The instructions stress the importance of quality ingredients and practical techniques to enable readers to bake efficiently at home, aligning with the overall goal of enhancing domestic cooking skills for financial and nutritional benefit.
