Cookbook & Prize Package Giveaway: Italy on a Plate

Enter our US giveaway to win one of four prize packages each to include a copy of Susan Gravely’s Italy on a Plate: Travels, Memories, Menus, two Italian dish towels from VIETRI, and a pack of six spices from Burlap & Barrel: oregano, garlic, chili flakes, tomato powder, salt and black pepper. Be sure to check if Susan will be near you while she tours promoting this gorgeous book.

Susan Gravely is the Founder and CEO of VIETRI, a lifestyle brand offering handcrafted Italian tabletop and home and garden accessories. She started VIETRI alongside her sister and mother after they took a trip to Italy in 1983 and fell in love with the handpainted dinnerware they found on the Amalfi Coast and decided to start a wholesale business. Since that trip forty years ago, VIETRI has become the largest American importer of Italian ceramics. Susan currently oversees product design for VIETRI and lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with her husband, Bill, and dog, Franco.

In this her debut cookbook, Susan celebrates her career at VIETRI, providing an exploration into what makes Italy so magical: its staggering beauty, unparalleled style, artistic legacy, and incredible food. The close friends Gravely has made during her years of Italian travels have graciously shared their homes and their favorite family recipes, and this book gives a culinary tour of Italy’s flavors with recipes you will enjoy with loved ones for years to come.

There are three online recipes that you may try now:
