Venice and Food
by Sally Spector

This book examines Venice and food from an historical, social, cultural and artistic point of view: what Venetians eat, the history of these foods, what makes these foods particularly 'Venetian' and, in some cases, how they are eaten. It will fascinate not only those interested in food and its preparation, but those who love the Venice of past and present. In addition, it is intended as a 'guide' for people who wish to sample local specialties while visiting Venice: which foods to look for, as well as how to recognize them. Recipes for traditional Venetian dishes are included.

The book is divided into chapters of cicheti (typical Venetian snacks), rice, pasta, polenta and main courses, vegetables and sweets. Spices, so important in this city's history, are also discussed. The text is written by hand and illustrated with many small and full-page drawings; every page has its own lay-out and design. All the artwork - done in pen and ink or pencil with watercolor, colored pencil and/or pastel - is original, done expressly for this book.
