POLPO: A Venetian Cookbook (Of Sorts) Review: Stunning book! - I've had this book on my wishlist for a while and am so beyond glad that I finally purchased it! It is absolutely gorgeous! I actually purchased a copy to give to my mother during the holidays it was so beautifully done. This is a work of art from beginning to end. The binding is sewn opens to lay flat which is just gorgeous in person and really makes this volume stand out amongst my other cookbooks! And as if that unique and beautiful detail wasn't enough, there are full color images of the dishes, and they are gorgeous! Absolutely swoon worthy. The recipes themselves are mouthwatering and not too complicated, surprisingly! I think most can be easily followed by any intermediate home chef. The ingredients are accessible for the most part and not so outlandish and bougie that you'd have to make a trek to a specialty shop for them, but the combinations are ingenious. This book had everyone drooling over the holidays and is a new favorite among everyone I know! Perfect for any fan of italian cooking, as well as bibliophiles who can appreciate a well thought out, visually beautiful book. I can easily see this becoming not only a regular go-to, but also a family heirloom. Which is definitely something you don't find everyday among the masses of cookbooks published every day! Review: A legacy cookbook treasure - You get a 'rush!' when you open it. For the artisan home chef, POLPO is a needful-thing that screams, "Open me!". First, the book's construction and print quality are over the top. It's in the tradition of the finest bookbinder's craft. The book is constructed with lay-flat, saddle-stitched binding. Cookbooks will not typically lay flat when they are opened. That's a problem for texts that are referred to often, like a cookbook. You want those kinds of books to lay flat on your counter. Second, the recipes are spectacular and home cooking friendly. I've had my eye on POLPO since reading a chef's review some years ago. It's been on my wishlist ever since. It's a Xmas gift for the chef in my life. It's a knock-down beauty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #307,307 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #271 in Party Cooking #317 in Italian Cooking, Food & Wine #1,130 in Celebrity & TV Show Cookbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,130) | | Dimensions | 7.2 x 1.3 x 10.65 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1608199096 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1608199099 | | Item Weight | 2.5 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | October 30, 2012 | | Publisher | Bloomsbury USA | ## Images ![POLPO: A Venetian Cookbook (Of Sorts) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mPuYmgL9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning book! *by K***K on January 31, 2014* I've had this book on my wishlist for a while and am so beyond glad that I finally purchased it!

It's a knock-down beauty. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Outstanding Italian Cookbook *by F***F on July 7, 2017* This cookbook is a work of art and a culinary triumph. For bibliophiles this book is beautifully bound and presented. The cover design allows the book to lie completely flat when open. The paper quality is truly beautiful. It might well be described as having an instant aged or heirloom appearance while still very fresh and new. Each recipe is accompanied with a beautiful photograph of the completed dish. The photos are gorgeous and the recipes are clearly outlined in a clearly legible font. The thoughtfulness put into the publishing of this work is exemplary. More than a cookbook it is truly a work of art. The recipes are authenticity Italian and very approachable, using for the most part common and easily accessible ingredients. There are so many recipes that I am looking forward to making. I love the innovative options for bruschetta and the no flour chocolate cake looks amazing. The drinks/cocktails section is also a nice touch. I have no hesitation in recommending this cookbook. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/4775076-polpo-a-venetian-cookbook-of-sorts](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/4775076-polpo-a-venetian-cookbook-of-sorts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
