Venetian Republic
Eat Well|Issue #30, 2020
At 21, coming to the end of a 12-month sabbatical in southern Italy, Sydney chef and restaurateur Nino Zocvali visited Venice, and an obsession with the floating city was born.
Venetian Republic

Decades later, in his latest book, Venetian Republic, Zoccali shares 80 recipes from the Republic’s three key regions: Venice and the surrounding Veneto, the Croatian coast and the Greek Islands.

Part culinary journey, part cookbook, Zoccali’s book takes his readers on a historical and gastronomic adventure around his favourite parts of the globe, celebrating, as he does, ingredients and techniques that encapsulate the influence and magnificence of the Venetian region.

Images and text from Venetian Republic by Nino Zoccali. Food photography by Alan Benson, location photography by Andrea Butti. Murdoch Books RRP $49.99.

PLANT-BASED PIES

Pies are a piece of gastronomic brilliance: a filling with a case and lid you can eat is food genius. The first pies date back to Egyptian times and there is a recipe for chicken pie that was carved into stone more than 4000 years ago. For millennia, however, the pie casing was mostly used to cook the filling, but for around 500 years or more we have been eating the pie crust too.
