On January 30, 2012, from 5-9pm, local cookbook author and Souhegan High School teacher, Regina Sullivan from Merrimack, NH will be at local, authentic North End Italian Restaurant Lucia's Tavola in Brookline, NH. Regina's book titled, "Who Has Nana's Recipe?" will have various recipes featured that night for your enjoyment. Chef and owner of Lucia's Tavola, Mark Dicicco contacted local bookseller Toadstool Bookshop in Milford, NH seeking a cookbook from a local author to feature at this event. Together Mark and Regina decided on what recipes would be best to make for this special night. They decided on a six course dinner from the southern Italian region of Puglia. There will be something for everyone at this dinner, even if you are a vegetarian. "Who Has Nana's Recipe?" is a family cookbook full of recipes from Regina's maternal grandmother who was born in Tortitto, near the port city of Bari, Italy. Regina will be at this event to discuss her book with dinner quests and about the menu that will be featured from her cookbook. Wines from the Puglia region will complement the dinner.
