Product Description
Book Description
A literary cookbook about Venetian cuisine, as Paola cooks them in the Brunetti novels, with a foreword and six culinary stories by Donna Leon
Product Description
Food plays an important role in Donna Leon's bestselling Commissario Brunetti novels. In A Taste of Venice, Roberta Pianaro invites readers into the Brunettis' kitchen to learn how to prepare for themselves the delicious meals Paola Brunetti cooks for her family. We are given the secrets to Brunetti's favourite pasta (penne rigate), Paola's famous apple cake, a lasagne recipe from Brunetti's mother, Donna Leon's favourite meal (risotto di zucca), and a host of other sumptuous and authentic Italian classics.
Beautifully illustrated with vignettes by Tatjana Hauptmann, and with culinary stories by Donna Leon and extracts from the Brunetti novels, this is so much more than a cooking guide - it is a wonderful journey, full of ideas for recreating the delights of Venetian cuisine in your own home. So whether you want to eat spaghetti with clams, aubergine and prosciutto roulades or baked omelette with courgettes, you'll find all you need here to create the perfect Venetian feast.

A Taste of Italy,
By
This review is from: A Taste of Venice: At Table with Brunetti (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book in many ways. Not only does it stimulate one's taste buds it reminds me
of how many wonderful Brunetti books Donna Leon has written. I must re-read some of the earlier books. The Brunettis feel like old and well-loved friends whose lives and problems we have been permitted to share. Not to mention Paola's wonderful meals! How does she manage to find the time along with her job at the University. Thanks Guido for introducing me to the delights of Prosecco! I am never without a bottle or two in my wine cellar. I have tried some of the recipes and would recommend Monkfish cutlets with Peppers - a simple and very flavoursome dish especially served with new potatoes. If you too enjoy Italian cooking then this book is a must.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Rather nice,
By Veronica Franco "avid reader" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Taste of Venice: At Table with Brunetti (Paperback)
I was a bit disappointed with this book, because there are no photos of the dishes and because there are superfluous excerpts from the relevant books in it. However, I must say there are some great recipes for "torte" in it and some interesting recipes for vegetables, which are always the "stepchildren" in Italian menus. Makes me wish to be at the vegetable stands at the Rialto market. On the whole a rather nice cookbook with interesting to great recipes.
Also be warned that this is the same book as "Brunetti's cookbook", as so often 1 title for the US and 1 for the British market.

A great read for Donna Leon fans,
By
This review is from: A Taste of Venice: At Table with Brunetti (Paperback)
A little apprehensive that this might be a waste of time but it turned out to be exactly the opposite. I loved re-reading the book extracts and having the recipes to savour as well.We have tried some already and have recommended the book to friends who love Venice and Donna Leon as much as we do.
