More than 100
recipes for the Italian dishes of the much-beloved celeb's childhood,
presented with tips and hints for enjoying them without overindulging.
As a member of a large,
food-loving Italian family, Valerie Bertinelli has always equated food
with good times and togetherness. But at one point her love of food
threatened not only her health, but her livelihood as an actress, when
personal demons drove her to overeat and make poor food choices that
caused her weight to balloon by 50 pounds. Now happily svelte,
remarried, and riding a new career high, Valerie has made peace with
food, giving it a central-yet considered-place in her home and family
celebrations.
One Dish at a Time
offers an intimate look into the beloved actress's kitchen, where she
prepares a collection of treasured recipes from her Italian heritage.
Along the way, she shares her insights into the portion control and
mindful indulgence she has come to practice on her journey to enjoying
the pleasures of the table again.
Filled with gorgeous photos
including the actress in her kitchen, nutrition information accompanying
each recipe, and Valerie's tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, One Dish at a Time is designed to please baby boomer fans and home cooks alike. -- Publisher Marketing
