Join us in celebration of the highly anticipated release for The Gilded Fork: Entertaining at Home by personal chefs Mark Tafoya and Jennifer Iannolo.

The book is an invitation to throw open your doors to friends and loved ones, offering them a seat at your table and a permanent place in your heart. To make entertaining at home fun again, they've compiled a bakerʼs dozen of dinner party menus to indulge the senses with seasonal tastes for the kitchen. Also included are beverage pairings for each menu and lots of helpful tips to elevate your cooking to the next level.

At this Literary Feastup, you will hear directly from the authors about their philosophy on cooking, the experiences that helped shape that philosophy and the sources of inspiration to create this cookbook. The purchase price of this event includes a culinary tasting, complementary wine & cheese and a personally signed copy of the book. We hope you'll attend.
