Deirdre Heekin and Caleb Barber chef/owners of Osteria Pane E Salute, Woodstock authors of In Late Winter, We Ate Pears: A Year of Hunger and Love

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Saturday, October 3rd, 7:00

For the Brattleboro Literary Festival weekend, we are hosting Deirdre and Caleb, authors of In Late Winter, We Ate Pears. More than a cookbook, In Late Winter shares their love of the culture and way of life they experienced during their year in Italy. Caleb and Deirdre offer glimpses of a vibrant Italy: of rolling out pizza dough in an ancient hilltown at midnight while wild dogs bay in abandoned streets; of the fogged car windows of an ancient lovers’ lane amid the olive groves outside Prato. The recipes included In Late Winter are every bit as delicious as the memories. Come taste wine as Deirdre shares memories and we enjoy small bites, some prepared by Caleb, to accompany those tastes.

$30, reservations necessary by October 2nd
Please call (802) 246-6400 to reserve with your credit card number
