Book - Veneto by Valeria Necchio

Writer, cook and photographer Valeria Necchio shares the food and flavours at the heart of her homeland. Veneto includes lovingly written recipes that capture the spirit of this beautiful and often unexplored part of North-Eastern Italy, plus Valeria’s memories of the people and places that marked her upbringing and that make this region – and this book – so special.

The recipes – 100 in total – are packed with fresh ingredients and lively flavours inspired by the Venetian culinary repertoire. You will find a wide range of both traditional and modern dishes, from Cicchetti to risotto, and from fish to sides, passing through a selection of Venetian sweet treats, and seasonal sweet and savoury preserves.
