To many Americans, Italian food is a hearty lasagna, a rich Bolognese, or a pile of spaghetti and meatballs. But that's not all it is. "Italian food at its core is very much vegetable-based, and the Italians have perfected the art of getting a huge amount of flavor out of just a handful of good-quality ingredients," says chef Theo Randall, author of the new cookbook Verdura. In it, you'll find recipes packed with authentic Italian flavor and fresh vegetables that come together using approachable methods perfect for creating classics at home.
