August in Atlantic City…..

Thanks for all those that came to my appearance at the Atlantic City Food & Wine Show at Bally’s Casino this weekend. More photos and recipes to come. What an exciting event for any foodie, Guy Fieri, Emeril, Ingrid Hoffman, Cat Cora, Ted Allen, all in attendance as well.
I always enjoy my appearances here and to get to cook on stage using some of the best Italian wines and ingredients from many of the exhibitors.
I couldn’t help but include a photo of Jersey blueberries as well they are grown mostly in Hammonton, NJ -which is near Atlantic City. Although the show was a busy one this year I had a chance to pick up some local berries while en route to Atlantic City, they are being used in The Basic Art of Italian Cooking Kitchen this morning ( except for the ones that found their way into my morning cereal)  and were well worth the extra trip to find them.
Stay tuned for more recipes, photos from Atlantic City Food & Wine Show.
Don’t forget to look for my new book (Sept 15th):
 The Basic Art of Italian Cooking-Holidays & Special Occasions
Mangia Bene, Vivi Bene,
