La Venessiana – The Fragrant World of Venice
La Venessiana, founded as food art and garden blog in 2011, features the culinary heritage of Venice, the secret city and Lagoon, gardens and garden food.
We offer e-guides, virtual tours, retreats and online classes covering the historical recipes for food, natural remedies and perfumery of the Republic of Venice: Original recipes published between the 13th and 18th century, surprisingly un-Venetian at first sight, because they use herbs, blossoms and spices in unusual combinations.
