A love letter to the legendary lagoon city. To find the true heart of this magical city, meet real Venetians, and taste local dishes, you need a guide; "At the Table in Venice" is the best you can find! The author takes us on a journey through her cookbook into a vibrant and utterly enchanting city by showing us the "back entrance" through the local cuisine. You wander with her through the lagoon city, discovering deserted alleys and hidden courtyards, visiting colorful markets, and sitting at the table with Venetians in their homes. And what is served there sounds like pure delight: crispy focaccia with gorgonzola and walnuts, gently melting ravioli with pumpkin-truffle filling, creamy risotto with fried zucchini flowers and scampi, fragrant chocolate-amaretto roulade, and thick hot chocolate.
