Eric Dregni "Never Trust a Thin Cook" book release & reading In-Person
A Celebration of St. Paul's Sister City, Modena, Italy, and the paperback release of Never Trust a Thin Cook.
About the book (from the University of Minnesota Press):
"Never Trust a Thin Cook is a classic American abroad tale, brimming with adventures both expected and unexpected, awkward social moments, and most importantly, very good food.
What begins as a gastronomical quest soon becomes a revealing, authentic portrait of how Italians live and a hilarious demonstration of how American and Italian cultures differ. In Never Trust a Thin Cook, Eric Dregni dishes up the sometimes wild experiences of living abroad alongside the simple pleasures of Italian culture in perfect, complementary portions."
Books will be available for purchase through the CSP Bookstore at the event, and Eric will be happy to sign them following the discussion for anyone interested. Samples of some Italian treats will be available as well.
Sponsored by the Ramsey County Historical Society and the Italian Cultural Center of Mpls/St. Paul.
