Vegetables the Italian Way by Giulia Scarpaleggia (PREORDER)

Giulia Scarpaleggia would like you to eat more vegetables, and this cookbook is your sign. 

After Cucina Povera, the Tuscan home cook, teacher, and voice behind Juls' Kitchen turns to the garden. Vegetables the Italian Way comes from cucina casalinga, Italian home cooking, where seasonal produce is the meal and not an afterthought.

You'll find the classics you'd hope for, like Eggplant Parmesan, Panzanella and Sicilian Caponata, next to regional favorites like Braised Artichokes and Fennel Gratin. It's all photographed among Italian gardens and countryside, so you'll enjoy flipping through it as much as cooking from it.

Inside you'll find:

• Classic Italian vegetable dishes and lesser-known regional recipes
• Simple techniques for getting the most flavor out of each vegetable
• Seasonal cooking rooted in Italy's cucina povera tradition
• Photography from the Italian garden and countryside

Proof that the zucchini in your crisper drawer deserves a little more respect.
