»A great read and a superior Venetian-Italian cookbook.«Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

»In this beautifully illustrated book, we can now step into Paola Brunetti’s kitchen and learn her secrets.«Choice

»Brunetti has been at the cutting edge for many years: on bestseller lists and in the fight against crime. But it may be that the recipe for success did not come from Donna Leon at all – but from Roberta ... It is Roberta who introduced the rather ascetic American to the finesses of Italian cuisine. It is Roberta who reads all the new cases of the hero inspector first.«Brigitte Woman

»When my books deal with food, everything suddenly slows down, the plot and the characters calm down. I believe that at the table, everybody becomes a child again, one feels safe and secure and talks more freely because one sits together with close people.« ›Donna Leon in an interview with »Der Feinschmecker« while enjoying pumpkin risotto and clams‹Der Feinschmecker
