This Italian job is a stylish affair
SKYE McAlpine moved to Venice when she was 6, and has never really left.
Today, she divides her time between London and the Italian city.
Part cookery book, part travel guide, this stylish offering also features her beautifully atmospheric photographs of Venice.
Starting with a selection of breakfast pastries, she meanders through the Rialto Market for vegetables, pauses for an aperitif known as Lo Spritz, samples the fish and seafood available from the Venetian lagoon and pops into la pasticceria –the pastry shop – for dessert. Who could fail to be seduced by this leisurely Venetian lifestyle?
Just imagine feasting on lemon risotto, a dish served by the nuns at Skye’s convent school, before finishing off with a chocolate and meringue concoction known as Kisses In A Gondola.
