Cinnamon and Salt by Emiko Davies – Cookbook Giveaway
June 16, 2022 by JennyEnter our US/UK/AU/NZ giveaway to win one of three copies of Cinnamon and Salt: Ciccheti in Venice: Small Bites From The Lagoon City by Emiko Davies.
Emiko Davies is one of my favorite cookbook authors. Her style of cooking and writing provides comfort and as always with her books they take you to whichever region Emiko is focusing on (mostly Italy). See my previous reviews on certain of her titles: Torta della Nonna; Tortellini at Midnight; and Florentine.
Emiko’s latest cookbook is titled Cinnamon and Salt: Ciccheti in Venice: Small Bites From The Lagoon City. Cicchetti (pronounced chi-ke-tee) are little morsels; think of them as appetizers but cicchetti are undeniably, distinctly Venetian and a delicious nod to Venice’s casual way of life.
In Cinnamon and Salt, Emiko explores the rich history of Venice and its long relationship with cicchetti, detailing more than sixty classic and modern recipes, from fried to sweet and from small plates to drinks. Try Sweet and sour radicchio, or Mackerel, walnuts and black olive pâté. Indulge in Venetian soft-shell crab before moving on to Rose petal jam. You’ll even find recipes for a spritz, a bellini and a thick hot chocolate.
Our 
takes you inside this beautiful book and features the following 
- Octopus in wine (Polpi in tecia)
- Tuna tartare (Tartare di tonno)
- Whipped cod (Baccalà mantecato)
- Polenta, two ways (Polenta in due modi)
- Crumbed zucchini (Zucchine impanate)
- Grilled smoked herring salad (Insalata di aringa grigliata)
This book is a dream especially for those of us who love all things Italian. I fall into that category but also prefer eating the small plate way. My ideal meal would be a selection of plates with a variety of bites instead of a composed meal. Excuse me, now, I’m going to take this lovely book and escape to Venice.
Emiko’s books are this month’s cooking options in our EYB Cookbook Club.
