Veneto is a memoir-slash-cookbook on the food of Valeria’s origins. Published in 2017 by Faber, it contains 100 recipes dovetailed with personal anecdotes and regional culinary notes.

Food remains at the core of her expertise and exploration—of people, places and the self—though she now focuses on other genres beyond the recipe.

“Her book is incredible. The photography* is just wonderful.”

– Stanley Tucci
