For conditions, please view our photographs. A nice clean rare copy from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Jack founded the Midsummer House, Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. The Midsummer House experience is imaginatively curated to delight and amaze, so our surprise set menu changes regularly and is our playground to showcase our reverence for purity of flavour and natural seasonal ingredients.

This book is a region-by-region traveller’s guide which explores the history, geography and climate of Italy, showing how these features have influenced the cuisine and produce of each area. The author is Italian born and recommends to the traveller what to buy and where to eat while in Italy and what local specialities to bring home. Through a mixture of personal reminiscences and historical fact, Valentina Harris brings alive the customs and traditions of her native land. Anyone who has strolled around Venice in search of something to eat will have come across cicchetti. Irresistible little morsels full of local flavour, they are served in bars, bacari and other eateries from late morning onwards and are the Venetian equivalent of Italian antipasti, Spanish tapas, French canapés, Thai street food or English finger food. Made using traditional methods and produce, these meat, seafood, and vegetable treats are the best of Italian cooking in miniature. This gorgeous cookery book is a comprehensive collection of authentic and innovative recipes that will set your taste buds tingling.
