From the organizers:

It’s a potluck party! It’s mad civilized! It gives us a monthly dose of hope for the universe! Come by Archestratus to pick up the book for 20% off now.

Food of the Italian South goes where no English language cookbook has gone before and delves deeply into the culinary traditions of the Italian South, a region best known for its rustic and romantic cuisine. Parla shares both historical and cultural insights that encapsulate the miles of rugged beaches, sheep-dotted mountains, meditatively quiet towns, and, most important, soul-satisfying recipes—some of which are true to the originals and others that have been reimagined in a modern way.
