Description

In a large mixing bowl, place the yogurt, 300g of the caster sugar and the lightly beaten eggs. Stir in the cooled butter. The chef is Bruno, but you should ask for his co-owner, Luca," he said. "And bag an evening table – they only have 23 seats. The food there is the best in Venice. In fact, it might be the best in Italy." At €180 for two, including wine and tip, it was the most expensive meal we ate all week: fresh, simple and worth every cent. Start with the razor clams. I love this kind of Thai soup/pho kind of thing .... it’s always a crowd pleaser, it’s easy to adapt to what you have and you can easily dial up or down flavours or chilli heat to suit your audience and your store cupboard. It’s also pretty healthy. I made it last night and the response was pretty good. Here at The Happy Foodie, we’re somewhat obsessed with cookbooks. Can you tell us a bit about your favourites? Fold through all the dry ingredients including the orange zest. Scrape the mixture into a 23cm greased cake tin and put in the oven.

You could also fry the meatballs (in fact the NYT recipe suggests that)or if you cooked them for longer they could just cook in the broth. Praline creative director David Tanguy says, ‘We wanted to create a book which felt at the same time old and contemporary, capturing both the spirit of the real Venice and the unfussy charm of Polpo and its location in London’s Soho.’ Spread

Reviews

The consultancy researched old Venetian books and typography, before developing a design with a stripped-away spine, which uses the Venetian typeface – but only type sizes that would have existed in letterpress printing.

However, one of the main reasons that I love Polpo is because it's a 'small plate' place, where you mix several dishes between everyone. But while I love eating out that way, it's certainly not very easy to recreate at home. I have managed to put together mezze meals before with the help of a friend or two, but it's always rather stressful. So while I'm very happy to try out a lot of the recipes in this book, I think I'll enjoy leaving the complete Polpo experience to the experts... The book also features matt gold on the cover, and photography from Jenny Zarins is used throughout. A luscious cookbook of little known Venetian specialties from one of London's hottest restaurants, accompanied by luminous photographs. In place of a spine, the book’s binding is revealed – with stitching in bright green. Praline says the decision to remove the spine was also a practical one, as it allows the book to be laid out flat in the kitchen. Spread
