Mara Martin
is an extraordinary cook who has enchanted Italian as
well as International diners over the past twenty-five
years. Her talents have awarded her worldwide recognition. |
Mara's recipes and methods are
truly unique, inspired by her own creativity as well as
the rich gastronomic tradition of the Veneto -- particularly
that of Venice. La Cucina Veneziana's history hinges upon
the Republic's dominance of the sea, where the East met
the West and the city inherited culinary customs and ingredients
from civilizations across the globe. The same international
spirit that influenced Venice's great artists, transformed
its chefs: The art of Mara's cooking is a special combination
of enduring tradition and invention.
As a young girl, Mara apprenticed with her grandmother,
a celebrated chef in her home town who catered banquets
for special occasions. In observing these activities,
Mara learned the skills that would one day be awarded
with a prestigious Michelin Star.
The secret of Mara's success in the kitchen is simple,
however. It lies in the tastes and culinary wisdom that
have been handed down through generations, as every mother
teaches her own children.
Her passion and dedication resulted in Mara's cooking
being defined as the "new gastronomic art" of
today's Venice: A confluence of the great tradition of
Italian cooking - particularly the cooking of the region
of Veneto - made "universal" with contemporary
international references geared to modern appetites.
Today, "Da Fiore" is synonymous with tradition,
but also with elegance and innovation. Here, you can relish
Venetian's inimitable aromas and tastes that have withstood
the test of time.
Mara Martin begins every day in the kitchen, making bread.
She says it gives her concentration and at the same time,
relaxation, inspiration, and meditation. It is almost
a spiritual moment.
