February Tour of the United States

I am excited to announce that during the month of February, 2010, I will be traveling around the United States giving cooking demonstrations. I will share traditional recipes from Tuscany and I will guide students though the preparation of an authentic Tuscan meal. Each course will be paired with Tuscan wine.

My tour begins in the Boston area and takes me across the country to a variety of cities and venues. See below for the current itinerary. Please check my blog from time to time, as additional cities and events are added.

At a number of the events I will be collaborating with the wine expert Filippo Bartolotta, of the Italian food and wine travel organization Le Baccanti. I will offer the cooking portion of the events while Filippo will offer playful education in Italian wines and culture as well as an introduction to the gastronomic travel itineraries Le Baccanti organizes.

If you are interested in learning more about my U.S. itinerary or you have a suggestion about a venue, please e-mail my tour coordinator, Leigh Vincola, at leighvincola@gmail.com

I hope to see you at one of the events.
