This week I’m going to share my cookbook based on my latest book that’s coming out in June.

Yes. I’m getting ready for the release of my romantic heist THE MILANESE STARS with Touchpoint Press. And I’ve been hard at work creating all the pre-release materials.

Along with jewelry, the one thing that stands out in this book is food. So I thought why not share some of the Italian recipes from the manuscript in a cookbook.

Vita’s Cookbook

This cookbook features 7 recipes that include Vita’s chicken pecorino, Alice’s favorite almond pastry and Samuel’s not so favorite salted caramel macaroon.

And you don’t have to pay for it. It’s free. If you’re interested in Italian recipes then fill in this Google form. Along with an Advance Reader Copy of my book THE MILANESE STARS, I’ll send you this cookbook with Vita’s Italian cafe recipes for FREE! Or you can email me at contact@pamelaqfernandes.com.

I’ve spent some time creating this cookbook and even learned a few recipes from my wonderful friend and theater actress, Eleonora Micali. I actually picked up lots of simple Italian tips and culinary advice from her. She introduced me to the pleasure of eating fresh buffalo mozzarella.

Who would have thought that the stuff you get in the freezer section is just old cheese where the protein’s hardened. I can’t tell you how flavorful fresh mozzarella tastes. And we ate it on bread with a drizzle of olive oil. I never eat like that, because I love flavor and spice. But this was just something else. Now I can’t even think of going to frozen cheese! 😮

Fresh Mozzarella

I have to say, chefs make Italian cooking look like rocket science on TV. All those fancy words and complicated steps. Eleonora showed me it is nothing but simple.

And that’s why most of these recipes are one page long and easy to do. My personal style of cooking is five ingredients or less. I baked a chocolate cake last week, with ten ingredients and that was an exception. Not again.  🙂

Also I’m going to be sharing lots of good stuff till book birthday on 25th June, 2018, so stay tuned.

The Milanese Stars is a romantic heist. If you’re someone who enjoys heists or Jill Evanovich’s books then this one’s for you.

You can pre-order THE MILANESE STARS on Amazon.
