Description

The Vatican is a sovereign republic located in Rome, Italy, that serves as the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. Many of the top choices in food are Italian, but this cookbook also contains dishes that are favorites of the current pope, previous popes and cardinals, and the Swiss Guard, which oversees security for the Vatican.
The Vatican chefs have their choice of ingredients and equipment when they prepare meals for the pope, his staff, and visitors. Money is no object. Many Roman Catholics donate to their church, and some of this money allows the Vatican to prepare almost any kind of dish the pope and his visitors prefer.
