In Domenica's own words: "Italian home cooking is my first passion in
the kitchen...the food I cook is the food I love to eat and feed others:
simple, honest dishes that reflect my heritage and the seasons."
Domenica just published her fifth book, "The Glorious Vegetables of
Italy," containing vegetable recipes from appetizers to desserts, and
everything in-between. It's not strictly a vegetarian book, as some
recipes contain pancetta or other meat flavoring agents, but most
can easily be adapted to vegetarian.
