Cinnamon and Saltis a collection of recipes, stories and photographs that invites you to beautiful Venice through its beloved cicchetti.
Cicchetti (pronounced chi-ke-tee) are little morsels; think of them as appetizers, aperitivo or hors d'oeuvres – but cicchetti are undeniably, distinctly Venetian and a delicious nod to Venices casual way of life.
