Venetian Bookshop Supper with Skye McAlpine

Skye McAlpine is an alluring and gifted storyteller, cook and photographer. She is heralded by Anna Del Conte and Ruth Rogers of the River Cafe and her stunning debut cookbook, A Table in Venice offers an insider’s view on Venetian home cooking bringing this fabled and enigmatic city to life.

Venetian food is laden with nostalgia, synonymous with comfort and the source of endless fascination. It is dappled with pungent spices and rich flavours from buttery pine nuts, plump raisins to sweet vinegar and bay. Expect tastes of White Asparagus with Zabione Sauce, Roasted Celery with Cherry Tomatoes and Pancetta and Meringue Semifreddo.

This evening’s supper in the bookshop will consist of an aperitif and 3 courses from A Table in Venice. Skye will give a talk over supper and demonstrate some of her delicious recipes.
