  Over a period of 50 years, Harry's Bar has become a Venetian landmark, and a favourite haunt of stars such as Orson Welles, Hemingway, Noel Coward and Richard Burton. This cookery book replicates the recipes that have made Harry's Bar what it is, along with colour photographs and anecdotes from the bar's owner, Arrigo Cipriani. The bar's risottos and pasta dishes are its speciality, but other simple country food such as polenta, squid and beans are transformed into elegant dishes; and this volume provides recipes for making the bar's cocktails too, including the celebrated Bellini.
