Since growing up as the son of a produce peddler in post-WWII New Jersey and landing unexpected fame on NBC 4 New York's Weekend Today in New York show in the early 1990s, fruit and vegetable expert, TV personality, and author "Produce Pete" Napolitano has amassed millions of loyal fans who tune in every week to watch his segments on seasonal produce - all shared in his authentic, endearing, and matter-of-fact, guy-next-door style.

Together with his beloved wife Bette, an avid cook and baker, In the Kitchen with Bette & Produce Pete offers a heartwarming glimpse into the Napolitano's heritage through a delightful cookbook featuring cherished family recipes, memories, tips, and anecdotes from their own kitchen as well as those of their extended "family" of close friends, colleagues, and relatives.

Serving up old-world recipes for the modern era, In the Kitchen with Bette & Produce Pete - which follows the success of Pete's first book, Produce Pete's Farmacopeia, and his recent memoir, They Call Me Produce Pete - is a nod to simpler times, family legacies, and the unforgettable food and memories that tie us all together.
