What a great time we had at A Southern Season here in Chapel Hill. For those that don't know, A Southern Season is one of the best gourmet shops in the region. It is in a department store sized space and has several demo stations. Caroleena appeared at the Center Stage demo area and sampled her Sweet Potato Gnocchi and cooked a great Zucchini dish. This is Tuscan Cooking at it's finest - using Zucchini from the farmer's market outside of A Southern Season.
If you were not able to make it for the demo day to get your autographed copy, you can order it online from the Aji Publishing website, or from Amazon.com without the autograph. To see Caroleena cook, we've got a video of the recipe:
May 3rd, 2008 from 11AM to 4PM as Caroleena appears at A Southern Season!
Caroleena appeared at A Southern Season for a cookbook autographing session and a sampling of some of her cuisine. She appeared in the large demonstration area, "The Center Stage", next to the candy and wine, just in front of the stairs leading to the cooking school. The menu for samples was Sweet Potato Gnocchi and Zucchini Burro, Aglio, Prezzemolo e Parmigiano.
Thanks to the great staff and customers at A Southern Season!
Caroleena signed her cookbook at Weaver Street Market's location in Carrboro, North Carolina in December of 2007. She sampled bread with Orange flavored chocolate on top, a real crowd pleasing flavor. Who would have thought that good bread coupled with a good piece of chocolate would be such a great taste?
