GUILLERMO FORCHINO - "THE COOK" 8 3/8" COLLECTIBLE FIGURE

This magnificent "COOK" is from the Comic Art of Guillermo Forchino. The detail is superb while providing a comedic view of a master chef in the Italian restaurant. What a great gift for the "foodie" or chef in your house! Guillermo often writes a short story to go with his pieces. Read the Cook's story below!

This reproduction is fully handmade and hand painted, just like the original, under the supervision of Guillermo himself, by highly skilled artisians in the Far East. This piece is a 50% reproduction of the original and stands 8 3/8" tall. Each piece has a stamped signature and is hand numbered to designate it as a limited edition piece. A numbered certificate of authenticity is included with each reproduction.

The Cook:

"A Milanese Napolitaine, one, for table five!" yelled the waiter in the direction of the kitchen where the famous chef, Rodolfo Monti, was tasting his world famous recipe known as "Spaghetti Putanesca with stinging nettle sauce".

"Mmmh questo e eccellente, straordinario, splendido, incomparabile !" the chef exclaimed in ecstasy as a long strand of "spaghetti al dente" disappeared noisily, swallowed up in his mouth.

"Two lasagnas a la bolognaise, two, for the seven!" shouted again the head waiter with a new order.

"Wait un po, I'm not una machina! " steamed the " maestro " while he tasted his sixth spaghetti dripping with sauce.

"Humm, it's "incommensurabile", exquisite, exceptional, "favolosi "! The chef couldn't stop from repeating himself with his mouth full, while dunking a hunk of bread in the sublime sauce and wiping his mustache with his sleeve.
