Author, Historian and Photographer, Anthony Riccio, and Award-Winning Chef Silvio Suppa, recently returned to the farmlands of Campania where they researched the origins of true Meditteranean cuisine for their new book, "Cooking with Chef Silvio: Stories and Authentic Recipes from Campania." The duo will have a book signing and tasting here at the Cheshire Library. Copies of the book will be available for sale. Through oral history stories about life on his family farm in Sant' Agata de' Goti, Chef Silvio reveals the secrets of authentic Campanian cooking and how he learned "l'arte della cucina," the art of cooking, from his grandmother. With its original recipes and first hand research, "Cooking with Chef Silvio: Stories and Authentic Recipes from Campania" presents the facscinating history of Campanian gastronomy beginning with the ancient Samnites to the present day dishes offered at Chef Silvio's Cafe Allegre in Madison, Connecticut.
