a cucina veneziana è stata inevitabilmente
influenzata dalla storia economica, politica e
sociale della città e ha acquisito, di conseguenza, alcune caratteristiche peculiari. Sul commercio delle spezie Venezia, per esempio, fece la sua
fortuna che diminuì quando il mercato si aprì ad
altri paesi marittimi d’occidente. Venezia perse in
poco tempo il monopolio sul Mediterraneo ma la
cucina a Venezia fu a lungo caratterizzata dall’uso
di prodotti d'origine orientale e delle spezie.
L'impiego alimentare di queste ultime, veramente
eccessivo, col passare dei secoli diminuì progressivamente. Ciò avvenne, anche, per un inevitabile processo di modificazione del gusto. Tuttavia a Venezia
1'uso di molte droghe (zucchero, cannella, chiodi di
garofano, noce moscata e pepe) è ancor oggi piuttosto elevato e decisamente più consistente che in
tante altre cucine regionali italiane ed estere. A titolo esemplificativo, basti ricordare gli “gnocchi conditi alla veneziana con zucchero e cannella”.
Da non dimenticare poi, parlando delle influenze
gastronomiche orientali, la particolare predilezione
dei veneziani per i dolci. E' qui a Venezia che i
Crociati per primi portarono attorno al Mille lo zucchero, che via via ha sostituito il miele.

Cuisine
ANTICO MARTINI
enetian cooking has been inevitably
influenced by its economic, political and
social history, and as a consequence, gaining some peculiar characteristics. Venice made a
fortune with the spice trade, which only slowed
down when the market opened up to other
Western maritime countries.
Venice quickly lost its monopoly on the
Mediterranean. Venetian food was characterised
by the use of Oriental products, and spices, and in
the past their usage was almost excessive but as
the centuries unfolded taste and habits gradually
changed, reducing these flavours.
Economic and political changes, introduced different products in an inevitable modifying process.
However still today spices are used, (sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and pepper) and compared to
other regional food, Venetian cuisine is decidedly
more spicy. An example is Venetian Gnocchi
(potato dumplings) seasoned with cinnamon and
sugar. Not forgetting Venetians particular taste for
cakes, another oriental influence.
The crusades first brought sugar to Venice around
one thousand AD, which slowly substituted
honey.
