About the Author

Vincenzo and Suzanne Prosperi are the husband-and-wife duo behind Vincenzo's Plate, a global online destination for authentic Italian food lovers. Born and raised in Italy, Vincenzo brings with him the soul of the cucina - a deep love for cooking shaped by family and fuelled by passion. As the face of Vincenzo's Plate, he shares classic Italian recipes via video, helping people everywhere differentiate between what is authentic and what isn't, all with his signature charm and flair. A third-generation Italian born in Australia, Suzanne is the creative force behind the scenes. She knew Vincenzo's sincerity and passion would inspire people everywhere and in 2014, encouraged him to step in front of the camera. What started as a simple idea has since grown into a thriving community of millions who share a love for cooking and a passion for bringing the true flavours of Italy into their own kitchens. Their debut cookbook, Authentic Italian, is a heartfelt collection of family recipes that blend Vincenzo's Abruzzese roots with Suzanne's Calabrian heritage. They invite you to master the art of authentic Italian cooking at home, so that no matter where you are, a taste of Italy is always within reach.
