Book Fair Event: Lunch with Chef Rossi

Rossi, who credits America as her hometown, grew up in a camper wedged on the top of a Ford pick-up truck and had visited most of the country by the time she was 10 years old. She grew up “orthodox light” (her family kept the meat and
dairy dishes separate but ate McDonalds’ fish sandwiches). Her wacky sense of humor and international food fusions reflect her Hungarian Yiddish background and her love of all things loaded with flavor.

Her book, “The Raging Skillet”, is one woman’s story of cooking her way through some of life’s biggest challenges in New York City’s most unlikely kitchens. The book features anecdotes from a life of food plus recipes—ranging from pizza bagels to tuna tartare—to close each section.

* This event includes lunch with menu items suggested by Chef Rossi. Lunch and book talk will be followed by coffee, dessert and book signing.
