Special Book Event: The Italian Summer Kitchen

Timeless Recipes for La Dolce Vita with Cathy Whims

The Roadhouse welcomes you to a very special evening as we welcome six-time James Beard Award Finalist and cookbook author, Cathy Whims. Her debut cookbook, The Italian Summer Kitchen, will transport us to the full, bright flavors of sun-drenched summers in Italy—right here in Ann Arbor!

For a culinary tour of Italy, you couldn’t ask for a better guide than Cathy Whims. In The Italian Summer Kitchen, Cathy masterfully unites dishes from the country’s many and varied regions to create an authentically Italian yet approachable collection for the home cook. In the book, readers will find step-by-step instructions, tips and techniques from professional chefs and everyday home cooks, and a seasoning of Cathy’s always-engaging wit and reflections on history and on food, life, travel, and more. Cathy will bring these reflections to us in person at the Roadhouse for one night only, as she guides us through an Italian culinary experience that we can all create at home—just in time for summer.

Chef Bob has pulled some of Cathy’s “must-have” appetizers from her book to be savored at this one-of-a-kind event. Come join us as we explore Italy with Cathy as she presents her sensational cookbook, and get whisked away with the bright seasonal flavors of Italy!
