If you weren’t born Italian or into a culture of eggplant cuisine, you don’t know what you’re missing! North America is the last continent to truly appreciate this unique, versatile and delicious vegetable. Eggplant is becoming more popular everyday, by the minute, and you have to try it. Vegetarians know what I am talking about.

An eggplant’s versatility is so great, you can use it for almost anything and it can fill any flavor profile you’re looking for. You can substitute eggplant for meat cutlet in virtually any Italian dish. Appetizer, Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich, Stuffed Eggplant, Eggplant Lasagna, Eggplant Rolatino and of course, as a pizza topping.
