Pasta Modern with Francine Segan

Pasta—hands-down Italy’s most famous food—comes in hundreds of shapes and is served in thousands of ways.  Join Francine Segan, James Beard Nominated author of the new cookbook Pasta Modern, for an amusing talk on its tantalizing history, interesting regional dishes, and what’s cutting edge in Italy today. Learn about Felicetti and Garofalo, two of Italy’s most renowned pasta companies. Discuss tips on how to pick the best dried pasta, the perfect way to boil pasta, modern and antique pasta making and equipment and more. Talk includes a trivia contest, tastings of several pasta dishes, a free box of Felicetti and Garofalo pasta for each guest and a signed copy of Pasta Modern. Segan has appeared on Food Network, Discovery Channel and History Channel and is a noted public speaker and food historian.
