As many times as I went out was as many times as I got lost. But I was never lost. I was always somewhere in Venice.

In Venezia: Food & Dreams, Tessa Kiros explores the magic and charm of the famous Italian city of Venice. She embroiders the recipes of this city of canals, bridges and carnivals with her own unique colours and threads. Venice is Italy’s kingdom of salt and pearls, prosecco and mermaids, bigola and polenta. Tessa travels through the city, breathing in its atmosphere and letting its bejewelled past and dark alleyways fuel her imagination. Mingled among Tessa’s unique recipes and the stunningly beautiful food and scenic photography are Tessa’s diary jottings on Venice’s life and culinary delights.
