Cooking with Tastes of New England will take place on Saturday, November 1, 2008 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Inn at Spruce Wood in Durham. Renowned chef, Mary Ann Esposito, host of PBS's Ciao Italia and author of the new book Ciao Italia: Slow & Easy, will headline the event.
Attendees of Cooking with Tastes of New England will be treated to a cooking demonstration and tasting featuring recipes for everything from holiday hors d'oeuvres to tailgate parties. In addition, they will learn Esposito's secrets to success and she will sign copies of her new book. Individuals will also be able to sample and purchase hundreds of New England-made food products.
This holiday season people want to eat local and buy local, said Mary Reed, owner of Tastes of New England. This event is a way for people to create inventive holiday food and give unique gifts, most of which cannot be found anywhere else. In the coming year, we plan to host cooking events all over the Northeast so that we may share the goodness that New England has to offer.
Seats are limited and tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets are $10 and includes a gift bag full of free products, discounts and more. Copies of Esposito's books will be available for purchase, courtesy of RiverRun Bookstore, however, attendees are welcome to bring their own for signing.
