Good Earth / Great Chefs: Nancy Silverton
Five years after launching the Good Earth/Great Chefs book signing event series that has become a pilgrimage for Southern California foodies, 2014 James Beard Outstanding Chef Nancy Silverton returns to celebrate her new book, Mozza at Home at the Chino Family Farm. Silverton’s The Mozza Cookbook launch was the first in the Great Chef series that has included visits to the farm from American food world legends Alice Waters, Ruth Reichl, Jonathan Waxman, and Deborah Madison, as well as Mexico’s superstar chef, Enrique Olvera. For this event, Silverton, along with her co-author, San Diego native Carolynn Carreño, a crew of chefs from her restaurants, and artisan cheese makers from the family-owned Di Stefano Cheese, will prepare seasonal dishes from the book utilizing famed Chino produce. In addition, Box Canyon band will be performing their bluegrass music. Copies of Mozza at Home will be sold at the event, along with many other specialty pantry items; the authors will only sign books purchased at the event.
