Are you hungry for a good book? How about a book that is a gourmet banquet for even the most ravenous reader? Truong's writing is a sensuous literary feast; it makes one want to read it aloud, to devour each word, to hear it and taste it, just like Linda, who longs for a certain word "like it was a spoonful of peach cobbler."
Octavian, a Roman Emperor once said "slow down, we are in a hurry." This book is a tribute to slow food and appreciation of life, a life made with human rhythms. A return to simplicity because these recipes from the Region of Puglia, in Italy are so very uncomplicated that even if you have never cooked in your life, you will be able to put an attractive dinner together in a short, short time.
Meet the author and enjoy live music and a 5-course dinner made by Cedro's from recipes in the book.
Tickets: $72.95 + tax. Includes dinner, a glass of wine, tip, and one signed copy of the book.
