International bestseller now in new gift format!

Capturing the essence of Venice and its food, this is a book to dream over as well as to cook from. Venice Cult Recipes (mini) by Laura Zavan presents black cuttlefish risotto, grilled squid, fancy antipasti, delicious Venetian sweets and ice creams - here are 100 recipes that conjure up the real Venice.

There are recipes for fish, chicken, antipasti, ravioli, gnocchi, risotto, soups, snacks, polenta, and desserts. Also included are recipes for Venetian drinks, featuring the internationally renowned bellini, the perfect blend of white peach juice with sparkling prosecco. This cocktail was invented by Giuseppe Cipriani in 1930 at Harry's Bar in Venice and is synonymous with the sparkling city.

Author Laura Zavan shares her knowledge of Venetian food and its history generously, providing commentary and maps for five guided walks around Venice that stop off at cafΓ©s, restaurants, food markets, and wine cellars. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Venice, you can experience authentic Venetian food and wine first-hand with the guidance of this book.
