THE 100 PROSECCO RECIPES
by Sandro Bottega is much more than a recipe book. The bestselling Prosecco winemaker pays tribute to the culinary traditions of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Veneto, evoking its art, heritage, landscape, farmers and producers along the way. Bottega is an avid culinarian, establishing 20 restaurants around the world in addition to his wide range of sparkling wines, grappa and liqueurs. Recipes like risotto with Prosecco DOCG, redolent with butter, thyme, extra virgin olive oil and a splash of Prosecco, can be attempted by the amateur cook; while fine dining showstoppers like the marinated musky octopus requires dextrous wrangling and at least 24 hours of preparation. Vivid photographs make this a coffee table keeper. €19.90 from bottegaspa.com
