POLPO – A Venetian Cookbook

POLPO – A Venetian Cookbook

DETAILS

Tucked away in a side street of London's trendy Soho, POLPO is one of the city's hottest restaurants. Critics and foodies flock to this understated bàcaro, where Russell Norman serves dishes from the back streets of Venice. Far from the tourist trap restaurants of the famous floating city, this style of cuisine is simple, innovative and utterly delicious. The 140 recipes in the book include caprese stacks, zucchini fries, asparagus with parmesan and anchovy butter, butternut risotto, arancini, rabbit cacciatore, warm duck salad with wet walnuts and beets, crispy baby pizzas with prosciutto and arugula, scallops with lemon, peppermint, mackerel tartare, linguine with mussels, whole sea bream, warm octopus salad, soft-shell crab in parmesan dough with fennel salad, walnut-honey semifreddo, tiramisù, fizzy bellinis, and glasses of bright orange spritz. With luminous photography by Jenny Zarins capturing the uninhabited corners, bustling bàcari, and sublime waterways of Venice, POLPO is a dazzling tribute to Italy's greatest hidden cuisine.
