In 1993, Marc Vetri boarded a plane with a note of introduction in one pocket and a few hundred dollars in the other. He landed in Bergamo, in northern Italy, where he spent the next eighteen months immersed in the soulful cooking and great–hearted hospitality of some of the regions top chefs and restaurateurs. Four years later he was ready to open his restaurant, Vetri, in Philadelphia, where he continued to develop his style of authentic yet innovative Italian cuisine, gaining acclaim as one of the finest Italian chefs in the country.

Il Viaggio di Vetri, Marcs long–awaited debut cookbook, celebrates the core of great Italian cooking: a superb meal shared with family and friends. Chapters cover a full range of cold and hot appetizers; pastas and risottos; fish and shellfish; meat; poultry, game, and organ meats; vegetable side dishes; and desserts, giving the home cook more than 120 skillfully presented dishes to choose among, including:

• Foie Gras Pastrami with Pear Mostarda and Brioche
• Squid and Artichoke Galette
• Chestnut Fettuccine with Wild Boar Ragu
• Olive–Crusted Wild Bass with Confit of Leeks
• Pork Rib and Cabbage Stew
