Vatican Cookbook: Serving Up Papal Favorites with Side of History and Art

You can add food to the treasures of the Vatican.  A new cookbook set to be published on April 5 takes a tour of some of the Vatican's great artworks, but the real journey is to the dining table of the Pope. The Vatican Cookbook incorporates favorite recipes and stories from Popes both past and present.  The recipes and stories are drawn from the recollection of the Swiss Guard-- the lavishly dressed protectors who have served the Vatican for centuries.

Supervising editor, Thomas Kelly, joins us to dish on the book and how Clevelanders played such a significant role in it publication.
