Every dish has a story, and the best stories have a delicious memory associated with them. Join me for some of my favorite dishes, and the stories that inspired them.
It isn’t that often that I find myself building a menu of seven courses, only to realize that it is entirely vegetarian. Tonight’s stories will include one of my earliest memories of my cheese obsession, an entertaining evening at the drive-in movies, a trip through Treviso, the one dish I must eat to mark the change of a season, an afternoon in Ravenna, and a Southwest spin on my first favorite dessert, inspired my favorite Aunt.
