"Cooking For Love" is a personal account of the author, Janet Vitiello's three passions: Food, Travel and Relationships and how they are entwined. There are over 60 recipes in her book. The story begins with her Italian roots and growing up in Brooklyn, New York. She believes that cooking is more than just preparing food; it is a love connection with family and friends, sparks nostalgia and creates new memories.

This is a tribute to Janet's first-born son, Matthew, who passed away unexpectedly at age 33 (3/11/1990-12/30/2023).

Janet has found strength in writing, as she continues to honor and preserve Matthew's memory.

Janet's story is about cooking and entertaining, travel adventures and experiences and nourishing relationships. It is an honest story of grief and joy, which Janet explains can co-exist.
