Here’s what happening at the Beard House and around the country next week:
Sunday, October 25, 11:00 A.M.
Reflections of Maremma Workshop
Inspired by a Surrealist sculpture garden in a tiny village in the Maremma region of Tuscany, Gabriella Ganugi and her team of chefs from Florence’s Apicius cooking school designed a dinner menu reflective of this rugged, vibrant coastal part of Italy. This workshop will highlight some of Ganugi’s favorite dishes from that menu.
Monday, October 26, 7:00 P.M.
New England Catch of the Day
The winner of Boston magazine’s “Best Seafood Restaurant” title for four years in a row, Catch is a brilliant showcase for seafood-savvy chef and owner Chris Parsons. A fourth-generation fly fisherman, Parsons has been reeling in the praise with a constantly evolving menu that is at once French-influenced and New England–inspired.
Tuesday, October 27, 7:00 P.M.
Flavors of Southeast Asia
Named for the large sugar crystals often used in Asian cooking, RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen seamlessly fuses the vibrant flavors of the Pacific Rim. Executive chef Mohan Ismail draws on the taste memories of his Singaporean childhood as well as his experience cooking at bar-setting restaurants like Tabla, Spice Market, and Blue Hill.
Wednesday, October 28, 12:00 P.M.
Beard on Books
In Love What You Do: Building a Career in the Culinary Industry, Dorothy Cann Hamilton lends a helping hand to those forging their own professional path in the food world. Divided into three sections—“Deciding,” “Training,” and “Launching”—the book guides readers through each of the steps of any job hunt to find the career opportunity that is right for them. Cann also includes brief profiles of notable culinary figures, all offering their own words of encouragement and advice. Love What You Do gives you just the nudge you need to make a confident leap toward the food job you’ve always dreamed of.
Wednesday, October 28, 7:00 P.M.
50 Years of Michael’s
An early proponent of California cuisine, visionary chef Michael McCarty opened his first namesake restaurant in 1979, launching a revolution. Thirty years later (and 20 years after he set up shop in NYC), when local and seasonal are the words on everyone’s lips, it’s clear that McCarty has changed the food world forever.
