Venice between Kitchen and Atelier. Recipes handed-down for artists and food lovers

Poised between the ancestral dimension of lagoon cuisine and the more mysterious one - at times esoteric - of the artist's atelier, this "atypical" cookbook will take you to the roots of Venetian culture, revealing the secret alchemies of two different but deeply connected worlds by what lies at the basis of all civilization: food and its ingredients.
It is a priceless legacy of centuries-old traditions and knowledge guarded by generations that Zaira Zarotti, internationally known photographer and food writer, rediscovers and enhances with this precious collection of handed-down, sometimes forgotten recipes. Driven by her strong bond to Venice and family artistic history, her research and evocative images in chiaroscuro will inspire you to try your hand at authentic Venetian cuisine, rich in cross-cultural influences (Istrian, Dalmatian, Jewish, Turkish), and will encourage you to look at art in a different light.
