Signature Degustation: Venokratia - The Venetian Republic

Celebrate the launch of acclaimed Italian Chef Nino Zoccali's new book Venetian Republic with an exclusive Degustation Dinner at Nostimo on Saturday, November 9.

Join Chef Nino and Nostimo's internationally-acclaimed Chef in Residence, David Tsirekas, for this exciting culinary event as the pair present a tale of an Empire and its huge influence on the culinary territories of Greece and its surrounding neighbours.

Part culinary journey, part cookbook, Venetian Republic features rich and evocative recipes and stories. For this special event, David will recreate eight favourite recipes from Venetian Republic, rounding out the evening with tales of Veneto from Nino, one of Australia's most awarded chefs and owner of two of Sydney’s most acclaimed Italian restaurants: The Restaurant Pendolino and La Rosa The Strand.

Guests will be treated to delectable canapes, followed by grilled octopus and black-eyed bean salad, Ionian wild weed and native asparagus macaroni cheese, Ithacan slow-roasted island goat, grilled white peaches with white wine granita and Corfu mavrodaphne zabaglione with rosewater walnut biscuits.

This exclusive experience also includes a signed copy of Venetian Republic for each guest, valued at $50.

Need to know - Tickets are $150 per person for the menu only, matched wines are an optional extra. 

Nice to know - Nino will be donating $5 from each ticket sold to the Greek Orthodox Community of St George Respite Centre.
