On Sunday 1st June 2014 Arianna and Monica had the pleasure to offer a cooking demostration on Venetian Cicchetti on the Island of Vertosa in Venice with the help of the historic cook of the famous Venetian Osteria La Vedova, the great Ada Catto. We were asked to prepare quick easy recipes which could easily be replicated while sailing away on boats in the Venice lagoon!

We had a great time and we would like to thank VdV s.r.l. Polo Nautico Vento di Venezia for the opportunity and the amazing location.

Here are some photos of the day, we tested some of the recipes on the field which will go in our book on cicchetti which should be ready soon for you all to purchase!

Here are all the photos!
