There's a new face of Italian cuisine in America: David Rocco, host of Cooking Channel's David Rocco's Dolce Vita. In his first cookbook for the U.S. audience, he shares the best of cooking, eating, and living the good life in Italy.

International cooking star David Rocco is breaking into the U.S. in a big way. His hit show has aired four seasons on Food Network Canada, as well as in 150 other countries, on networks including BBC Food, Discovery Travel and Leisure, National Geographic Adventure Channel, and TLN Telelatino. Cooking Channel picked up the show in 2010 for the network's launch, and Rocco has the beginnings of an avid U.S. fan base. Made in Italy will showcase the best of Rocco's style and taste, featuring simple, rustic Italian dishes that any home cook can accomplish.

No one knows la dolce vita better than Rocco, who lives the very best of "the good life" in Italy. In his show, Rocco and his wife, Nina, travel around Italy, introducing audiences to their eclectic friends and people in towns and villages all over the country. From his modern flat in Florence to the lemon groves of the Amalfi coast and everywhere in between, he explores the very best foods of the country: a delicious homemade pasta, a refreshing caprese salad with avocado, beautiful gelati inspired by local vendors. Full of photographs of gorgeous food and sweeping images of the Italian countryside, Made in Italy will inspire cooks across the U.S. to bring Italy to life in their own homes.
