Benvenuti!

Welcome to Buona Domenica, a weekly newsletter of Italian recipes and inspiration, delivered to your inbox every Sunday.

I’m Domenica Marchetti, author of eight beautiful books on Italian home cooking, including Williams-Sonoma Everyday Italian; Preserving Italy: Canning, Curing, Infusing, and Bottling Italian Flavors and Traditions; and the bestselling book The Glorious Pasta of Italy.

I teach cooking classes online and IRL, and I occasionally host tours and workshops in Italy. My articles and recipes on Italian food have been widely published, but this newsletter gives me an opportunity to connect directly with you and others who love Italian food and life as much as I do.

Why Subscribe?

  • So you never miss a recipe! Every Sunday I share high-quality, thoroughly tested recipes—the kind that have defined my work—along with Italian food stories, interviews, inspiration, memories, and more. All subscribers receive the Sunday newsletter delivered right to your inbox.

  • Premium subscribers have access to all recipes, including new ones that I’m publishing for the first time here on Substack. You also receive discounts to my online hands-on cooking classes, in which we make everything from homemade pasta to Italian cookies; and you are eligible to participate in giveaways of cookbooks and Italian products I love.

Join our “comitiva”

The “comitiva” is an important construct in Italian society. Essentially your comitiva means your people, your community, your orbit. My aim is to create and nurture a community of Italian food lovers here on Substack. We’ll swap recipes, share techniques, create menus, and dive into Italian culture and travel. Join us!

Baci,
Domenica
