Veneto: Recipes from an Italian Country Kitchen

Selected by Martha Stewart magazine as one of the best cookbooks of 2017: "Fabulous ... beautifully written and photographed."
"Valeria writes with such heart about regional home cooking and the kind of food values that allow for both tradition and change. Veneto is as simple as it is inspirational." -- Alice Waters
"Lavish introductions and beautiful color photography.... Necchio’s first cookbook is a leisurely word-stroll through the events, people, smells, and tastes that formed her cuisine character. "
--Booklist, Starred Review
