Product Information
The Victorians' ingenuity for developing various implements for moving food from one place to another without touching it with their fingers left a legacy of flatware and silverware for today's collectors. Antique markets and shops overflow with pickle forks, olive spoons, fish knives and an incredible range of tableware that is as much fun to use as it is to collect. This book is an appreciation of vintage cutlery and special dining tools in delightful combinations. The complementary text reveals the history and technique behind the baked potato fork or the bread knife, and the French method of laying a table. A complete resource section offers advice on the care, cleaning and storage of silver, steel, Bakelite, bone and other materials. Also included are more than 35 recipes designed to put these treasures into practice. Writer Peri Wolfman and photographer Charles Gold are the owners of the New York tableware and home furnishings store Wolfman, Gold and Good CompanyProduct Identifiers
