At this book release celebration sponsored by the Food Studies program (http://www.newschool.edu/public-engag…) at The New School (http://www.newschool.edu), Professor Fabio Parasecoli explores the history of Italian food culture in his new book, Al Dente: A History of Food in Italy.

With classic Italian dishes topping everyone’s lists of favorite foods, it is unsurprising that Italian food has had a long and rich cultural history. Despite food scarcity, wars, invasions, and difficult agricultural conditions, Italy persevered and created a food culture based on grains, legumes, and vegetables.

Lisa Sasson, Clinical Assistant Professor and Registered Dietitian and Sara Jenkins, chef/owner of Porchetta and Porsena will discuss this new book with the author.

Location: Klein Conference Room, Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Hall
Monday, April 28, 2014 at 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
