This just in from Kim Ricketts Cooks & Books:
Don’t miss what is going to be a super fun and VERY delicious evening next Wednesday at Tavolàta! Still a few seats available!
When it comes to urban Italian food in Seattle, chef Ethan Stowell’s thriving Belltown spot Tavolàta, comes to mind. So, when news came that famed New York chef Andrew Carmellini was coming to Seattle to promote his new cookbook, URBAN ITALIAN: Simple Recipes & True Stories from a Life in Food, well – let’s just say it was a no brainer!
Join us, Wednesday, November 19 for a Cooks & Books dinner with Andrew Carmellini and his co-author and wife, Gwen Hyman, at Tavolàta (2323 Second Avenue). Award-winning chef Ethan Stowell will be creating a multi-course Italian feast inspired by the recipes found in URBAN ITALIAN. Dinner begins at 6pm and cost to attend is $100/person (excluding tax and gratuity), which includes all food, wine, and a signed copy of the book. Reservations are required. Please call Tavolàta at (206) 838-8008 for reservations.
Not only is URBAN ITALIAN Gourmet’s “Cookbook Club” Pick for November but also everyone in the food world is raving about it…
“Andrew Carmellini’s URBAN ITALIAN is that rare breed of cookbook: written by a skilled, top-tier professional, yet at all times accessible, unintimidating, and inspiring to the home cook. In short, it’s everything a cookbook should be. The conversational style provides both a thrilling introduction and the feeling, while cooking, that the chef is standing next to you in the kitchen, forgiving your mistakes, urging you along, painlessly expanding your reservoir of knowledge. In a world awash with Italian cookbooks, this one's a must-have.”
—Anthony Bourdain
"Andrew’s passion for Italy is contagious. Urban Italian is entertaining, informative, and witty."
—Eric Ripert
“Andrew Carmellini is an enormously talented chef who brings a distinctive style and voice to his restaurant. Urban Italian captures that style and voice for the home cook with intriguing recipes—and also with great stories about the cook’s life, written with a candor and bravado not typically found in chefs’ cookbooks. A terrific book.”
—Michael Ruhlman,
We hope to see you for dinner!
