G. Franco & Gwen Romagnoli - Italy, the Romagnoli Way
Thursday, May 1st. Please note that this is an In-Store event, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Authors G. Franco and Gwen Romagnoli will talk about "Italy, the Romagnoli Way: A Culinary Journey" and their visits to less travelled towns and to eateries serving "simple, satisfying food." Franco and Gwen's preference for "peasant fare" and their enjoyment of regional dishes, breads, wines and sweets is clear. Chapters dedicated to both regions and smaller areas (i.e. the Aeolian Islands) include historical background, landscape and architecture descriptions, favorite routes and restaurants, typical meals, and a small number of unforgettable recipes.
Franco first introduced his native Italian cooking over 30 years ago, as a co-host of PBS' television series, The Romagnoli's Table. He operated a number of restaurants in this area and has written nine cookbooks. Gwen lived in and wrote about Italy for many years before meeting and marrying Franco. Their travels during the past ten years, to seemingly endless out-of-the-way spots in Italy, are inspiring and fascinating. "Italy, the Romagnoli Way" presents the Romagnolis' extraordinary attachment to and familiarity with traditional Italian cooking.
Franco's prior books include "Cucina di Magro: Cooking Lean the Traditional Italian Way" and "A Thousand Bells at Noon: A Roman Reveals the Secrets and Pleasures of His Native City."
