Italy on a Plate: Travels, Memories, Menus by Vietri Founder & CEO Susan Gravely In celebration of VIETRI’s fortieth anniversary, and with gratitude for the Italian friends who have welcomed her into their lives, their homes, and to their tables, Susan Gravely, VIETRI Founder and CEO, has written a memoir and a cookbook. The book showcases over 50 recipes straight from the kitchens of Susan’s dearest Italian friends. These delicious, treasured family recipes highlight the best dishes from regions all across Italy, and they are accompanied by Susan’s charming, poignant, and hilarious memories with each friend. The book also includes glimpses into these friends’ beautiful Italian homes and gardens, and it offers tips for how to entertain with effortlessly elegant Italian style. The final chapter features Susan’s own home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with a look into her own family traditions and special holiday recipes. Author Frances Mayes, a longtime friend of the Gravely family, has written the foreword for the book in addition to being included in her own chapter within the book. Susan says she feels “incredibly lucky to have spent years in this favorite country of mine, and Italy’s spirit continues to enchant me. Its enthusiasm, passion, style, and romance live in its people, and, through my work, I have met many incredible Italians and enjoyed many homecooked meals! To be invited into people’s homes, to share a meal, to celebrate life’s big and small moments together... These memories are some of the most cherished in my life. This has been the happiest and most unexpected result of creating VIETRI, and for this I am profoundly grateful.” Susan Gravely is the Founder and the CEO of VIETRI, Inc., a lifestyle brand of Italian artisan-crafted dinnerware and home and garden accessories. VIETRI was founded in 1983 by […]

In this immersive, spell-binding memoir, an acclaimed screenwriter tells the story of her childhood growing up with the infamous Lyman Family cult—and the complicated and unexpected pain of leaving the only home she’d ever known. On January 5, 1975, the world was supposed to end. Under strict instructions from the Family leader, seven-year-old Guinevere Turner put on her best dress, grabbed her favorite toy, and waited with the rest of her community for salvation—a spaceship that would take them to live on Venus. But the spaceship never came. Guinevere did not understand her family was a cult. She spent most of her days on a compound in Kansas, living with dozens of other children who worked in the sorghum fields and roved freely through the surrounding pastures, eating mulberries and tending to farm animals. But there was a dark side to this bucolic existence: When selected girls in her community turned twelve or thirteen, they were “given” to older men on the compound as wives in training. Turner was part of the Lyman Family, a cult spearheaded by Mel Lyman, a self-proclaimed world savior, committed to isolation from a world he declared had lost its way. When Guinevere caught the attention of Jessie, the woman everyone in the Family called the queen, her status was elevated and suddenly she was traveling in the inner-circle caravan between communities in Los Angeles, Boston, and Martha’s Vineyard. Before long, Guinevere’s world as she had known it ended. Her mother, from whom she had been separated since age three, left the Family with a disgraced member, and Guinevere and her four-year-old sister were forced to go with her. Traveling outside the bounds of her cloistered existence, Guinevere was thrust into public school for the first time, a stranger in a strange world with homemade […]
