Here's the schedule we've been waiting for the Saturday, June 11th "Cooking with Italian Grandmothers" event at i Leoni and Della Fattoria, in historic downtown Petaluma.
If you haven't quite figured a trip to Europe this summer (or even if you have), here's a lovely way to soak in the atmosphere of an Italian Grandmother's kitchen.
First part of the evening (4 pm) is complimentary by calling ahead to reserve a space in i Leoni to hear author/traveler Jessica Theroux recount her adventures in capturing the art of traditional home cooking with grandmothers all over Italy.
By the time you've exchanged family recipes with fellow foodies, purchased Theroux's beautiful cookbook and enjoyed an hors d'oeuvres and Italian Aperitivo from the book, an authentic Italian three-course meal over at Della Fattoria awaits, featuring recipes from Cooking with Italian Grandmothers - prepared as Nonna would, with freshest local ingredients. Reservations start at 6pm. $85 per person.
Call i Leoni at 707 762 9611 for the 4pm event and Della Fattoria at 707 763 0161 for dinner reservations.







Are we doing this for the birthday thing?
