Review
POLPO does what a great cookbook should do: it makes you urgently want to cook and breaks new territory Daily Telegraph Wonderful ... the dishes are simple, with relatively few ingredients, but they're inspired. The grilled courgettes with toasted breadcrumbs, for instance, was sublime. The pages of my book are already smeared with olive oil and egg; a good sign -- Melanie McDonagh Evening Standard A marvellously useful guide to anyone who actually wants to cook -- Cary Gee Tribune A present for the greedy gourmets in your life Observer Delicious Mail on Sunday Gorgeous Daily Mail Like a trip round the bars and bacari of Venice Independent A delight for its goodies from Venice and beyond, beautifully presesnted in a book that (hallelujah) lies flat on the kitchen surface -- Lisa Markwell Independent Definitely the design classic of 2012 Irish Times

Polpo is an amazingly beautiful book from Russell Norman's restaurant Polpo. Starting with the unusual binding, and the gorgeous botanical type drawing on the covers. Inside the covers, a beautiful sepia map drawing of Venice. The binding allows the book to lay open very flat, but it also has an old-world look and feel to it, which is carried through to the paper. Polpo is heavily illustrated with photos of the food and the area, as well as 140 relatively simple recipes that look divine.
The book is divided into the following sections:
Introduction
Cicheti (Small Snacks, such as Smoked Salmon, Horseradish and Dill Crostini)
Breads (Stracchino, Potato, and Rosemary Pizzetta; Stracchino, Fennel Salami, and Fig Bruschette)
Fish (Soft-Shell Crab in Parmesan Batter and Fennel Salad)
Meat (Rabbit, Sage, and Apricot Terrine)
Vegetables (Panzanella; Grilled Zucchini Salad)
Desserts (Chocolate Salami)
Drinks (Negroni)
Gazetteer (a short guide to some of Venice's wine bars and restaurants).
The recipes look like they will be surprisingly easy to make. I plan to make Rocket and Walnut Pesto Crostini, Spinach, Soft Egg and Parmesan Pizzetta, Burrata with Lentils and Basil Oil, Garlic and Chilli Prawns, Warm Autumn Fruits with Amaretto Cream, Cavolo Nero, Gnocchi and Pecorino Romano, and Tiramisu Pots, to name a few. The recipes all look pretty delightful, it is difficult to decide just what you will make first.
So now for the bad news. First of all, the ingredients/ instructions are given in a mixture of metric and English. eg. 120g cooked cotechino, 1 X 400g tin of chickpeas, 160 degree C/ Gas 3 setting for the oven, 50 ml vodka, 85g caster sugar, 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
