Venetian dishes from London's most buzzing restaurant
POLPO does what a great cookbook should do: it makes you urgently want to cook and breaks new territory
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
A marvellously useful guide to anyone who actually wants to cook
A present for the greedy gourmets in your life
Delicious
Gorgeous
Like a trip round the bars and bacari of Venice
A delight for its goodies from Venice and beyond, beautifully presented in a book that (hallelujah) lies flat on the kitchen surface
Definitely the design classic of 2012
