In the Kitchen With: Valeria Necchio’s Polpette di Baccalà – Design*Sponge
This week’s recipe is all about nostalgia for me. One of my best friends lives in London. Originally from the Veneto region, I used to visit her often here in Italy before she moved. During these visits we spent our time enjoying all the treats her mother turned out of the kitchen, and even more around town. Venetian-born, London-resident food photographer and writer Valeria Necchio fits my friend’s same profile. Every time I see Valeria’s Instagram feed, I miss my friend and the great food from the Veneto region, so I thought it would be great to invite Valeria to share a bit of her culture. She chose polpette di baccalà, cod fritters. The recipe uses salted cod, a common ingredient in Venetian cuisine, so leave yourself a few days for soaking. –Kristina
