Venetian cuisine has been deeply influenced by the city's role over the centuries, particularly in the period of the Serene Republic. Trade with other peoples, which ensured the impressive wealth of the city, is also reflected at the table: exotic spices from Asia, the taste of salt cod from the cold waters of the Baltic but also crustaceans from the lagoon itself. Contents: Hors d'Oeuvres; First Courses; Main Courses; Fish Main Courses; Side Courses and Eggs; Dessert. The Discovering Venice Series takes the reader on a wild journey through one of the world's most famous cities. Covering all aspects of Venetian life, from history to culture, art to architecture this highly readable series is a must for anyone with a passion for Venice. ILLUSTRATIONS 20 colour illustrations
