Al Dente: A History of Food in Italy Book Launch

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.

The New School’s own Professor Fabio Parasecoli explores the history of Italian food culture in his new book, Al Dente: A History of Food in Italy, at this book release celebration.
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.
This event is sponsored by The New School's Food Studies program.
This event is free, but reservations are required by clicking on the top right register button.
