Mario Batali, Emilia Terragni, Michael White & Frank Bruni, "The Silver Spoon: New Edition"

With nineteen restaurants, nine cookbooks and a host of television shows, including the ever-popular Iron Chef America, Mario Batali is one of the most recognized and respected chefs working in America today.

For the past decade, Emilia Terragni has been the Editorial Director at Phaidon Press, an international publishing house which publishes books on art, architecture and cooking. Emilia takes great pride in translating and editing the cooking bible she grew up with, , The Silver Spoon (Il cucchiaio d'argento) first published in English in 2005. She is pleased to present The Silver Spoon: New Edition (2011), the new revised edition of one of the bestselling Italian cookbooks of all time.

Michael White is the award-winning chef/owner of the Altamarea Group, which includes the restauranta Marea, Osteria Morini, Ai Fiori, Due Terre and Due Mari. Although White's soulful, flavorful interpretations of Italian cuisine indicate otherwise, he is not an Italian native but a Midwesterner.

Frank Bruni, bestselling author and former restaurant critic for The New York Times, will moderate what will surely be a lively, mouth-watering discussion.
