More than just a cookbook, this is the British chef’s travel and personal journal about her love for Venice and the food and memories that earned it a place in her heart. Over 100 are accompanied by photos of the beautiful city and its food.

Venice is Italy’s kingdom of salt and pearls, prosecco and mermaids, bigola and polenta. Tessa Kiros traveled through the city, breathing in its atmosphere and letting its bejeweled past and dark alleyways fuel her imagination. Mingled with the recipes and stunningly beautiful photography are Tessa’s diary jottings on Venice’s life and food.
