famous. This beautifully illustrated guide to growing Italian vegetables
gives you tips for planting and preparing fantastic varieties of
tomatoes, greens, beans, eggplants, artichokes, peppers, herbs and more!

North American climates, and how to prepare these fresh veggies with
more than 25 recipes for antipasti, soups, sauces and sides--from a
delicious classic marinara to bread pudding with artichokes--and even

Mouthwatering photos throughout evoke the flavors of these delectable
vegetables and dishes, and highlights Italian specialties, such as the
greens that grow wild on Italy's hillsides. With a new preface by
Creasy, as well as updated recommendations, this book continues to be a
