The Harry's Bar Cookbook: Recipes and Reminiscences from the World-Famous Venice Bar and Restaurant

Wonderful book with great stories. Worth every penny.

I have such wonderful memories of Venice and especially Harry’s Bar…so this book is more than a cookbook…it’s one of my kitchen treasures…just reading thru the book is enjoyable in itself but the recipes are incredibly easy to use and evoke so many treasured memories of those lazy Venetian days including a saunter into Harry’s for… just anything you order will be memorable…one of any pasta dishes on offer…the only Croque Monsieur you’ll ever want to eat again…anything “in saor”…fabulously simple vegetable courses…and it would be impossible to choose a favorite dessert but it would have to be the lemon meringue cake or the chocolate mousse or the poached pears or the crepes flambé…and I could never leave without Harry’s famous Bellini…the book itself is a masterful cookbook with fabulous photography, text I have read over and over through the years, and Harry’s enduring but simple recipes any cook can prepare with impressive results…if I could only have one cookbook, it would be this one!

Regalo di natale perfetto. Belle ricette, belle foto, bel libro.

This is more an experience. Interesting narrative, seductive pictures, amazing recipes (some rather challenging but delicious however they come out). And who could not enjoy recipes for sandwiches with recommended wines! Not for those on diets, but an altogether pleasurable experience. Buon appetito!

Je suis déçue par ce livre. Les photos n'ont pas grand intérêt et les recettes rien d'extraordinaire. Un achat inutile.
