In a world where things seem to grow ever faster, it’s a pleasure to enjoy dining the way the Italians do—slowly and with savor. With this menu inspired by her recent book Italian Slow and Savory, celebrated cookbook author Joyce Goldstein will demonstrate the advantages of taking your time while cooking and giving each ingredient a chance to develop its fullest flavor. These dishes will tempt you to cook at a more relaxing pace and linger in the kitchen a little longer.
