Ciao Italia: Plant, Harvest, Cook!

The Italian American Museum cordially invites you to attend
Ciao Italia: Plant, Harvest, Cook!, a Presentation and Book Signing by acclaimed chef Mary Ann Esposito, host of the long running PBS Program, “Ciao Italia.”

Ciao Italia: Plant, Harvest, Cook! takes the reader on a seasonal home garden vegetable journey focusing on simple growing tips for anyone interested in growing their own vegetables and how to cook them Italian style. In simple language, anyone interested in growing their own vegetables whether on a grand or small scale will find this book filled with helpful gardening advice. No former green thumb necessary.
Over 30 years of trial and error and getting down and dirty are the foundation for this book, as well as a love for fresh homegrown food. The book highlights what’s growing in the early spring garden, featuring such cool weather crops as lettuce, radishes and peas and as the pages turn, progresses to what’s growing during the hot summer months with crops like tomatoes, eggplant and peppers.
The Slide presentation, which is based on Mary Ann Esposito’s book, “Ciao Italia: Plant, Harvest, Cook!”, will be followed by a Q&A and book signing.
