Review Quotes:
Giulia's warmth and generosity spills forth on every page of Vegetables the Italian Way. There is a beautiful rhythm to the way she cooks, with simple preparations that allow the vegetables to sing, in harmony with the seasons and in concert with the time-honored traditions of Italian home cooking.-- Hetty Lui McKinnon, cookbook author

Review Quotes:
Vegetables the Italian Way is a delicious ramble through the Italian countryside with every treasured vegetable and technique accounted for--never fussy, absolutely authentic, and undisputably delicious.-- Sarah Copeland, cookbook author

Review Quotes:
Bursting with original, wholesome Italian vegetable recipes that truly work every time, this book radiates warmth. Giulia's heartfelt guidance makes each dish a joy to prepare.-- Regula Ysewijn Mbe, food writer

Publisher Marketing:
Cucina Povera author Giulia Scarpaleggia continues her celebration of the soul of Italian cooking with a beautiful and delicious focus on vegetables.

Italians have a gift for making vegetables shine. It's about simplicity, balance, and an instinctive understanding of flavor to get the best out of each vegetable, whether it's eaten fresh along with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of salt or roasted slowly with a drizzle of olive oil and a handful of fresh herbs. This deep-rooted practice of simplicity comes from Italy's cucina povera where seasonal vegetables dishes are nourishing everyday meals.

The recipes in this book are the creations of Giulia Scarpaleggia (@julskitchen) and celebrate cucina casalinga--Italian home cooking. They include some of Italy's most iconic dishes like Eggplant Parmesan, Panzanella Salad, and Sicilian Caponata, as well as regional favorites like Braised Artichokes and Fennel Gratin. With enticing photographs from the Italian garden and countryside, the book is as much a pleasure to look at as it is to cook from.
