Who doesn’t love pizza? Head Chef Francisco Migoya of the Modernist Cuisine team will join us to talk about their new book ‘Modernist Pizza’ from The Cooking Lab. Spanning 1,708 pages, including three volumes plus a recipe manual, Modernist Pizza is much more than a cookbook: it’s an indispensable resource for anyone who not only loves to eat pizza but is also interested in the science, stories, cultures, and history behind it. Each gorgeously illustrated chapter examines a different aspect of pizza, from its history and top travel destinations to dough, sauce, cheese, toppings, equipment, and more. The team has included a travel chapter with guides to can’t-miss pizzerias in top pizza destinations such as Naples, Rome, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Tokyo as well as cities across the US, like New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Portland, and more.

Cassy Joy Garcia the creative force behind the popular food blog Fed and Fit will chat about her new book ‘Cook Once Dinner Fix: Quick and Exciting Ways to Transform Tonight’s Dinner into Tomorrow’s Feast’ from Simon & Schuster. As a busy mom of two, Cassy Joy Garcia, the best-selling author of Cook Once, Eat All Week, has limited time to get food on the table. With this book, she shares a fresh approach to preparing dinner in a hurry. These 120 easy, delicious recipes are designed to use the leftovers from one recipe to quickly cook a completely different meal the next day. The Cook Once Dinner Fix solves the “what’s for dinner” question without requiring enormous amounts of time, energy, skill, or money. Now dinnertime can be fun, fast, affordable, and sustainable.

Zoë François (now host of ZoëBakes on the Magnolia Network) and Jeff Hertzberg’s latest book ‘The Best of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: Favorite Recipes from BreadIn5’ from St. Martin’s Press with a foreword by Andrew Zimmern. Jeff will talk to us about how people want to bake their own bread, so long as they can do it easily and quickly. But with five very different “Bread in Five” books to choose from, bakers have been asking: “Which one should I get if I want a little of everything: the best of European and American classics, whole-grain recipes, pizza and flatbread, gluten-free, sourdough, and loaves enriched with eggs and butter?” With The Best of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, Jeff and Zoë have chosen their absolute favorite 80 recipes from all five of their books, bringing them together into a single volume that is the only bread book a baker needs and will make everyone a baker―with only five minutes a day of active preparation time.

We are pleased to announce that Philadelphia’s crown jewel venue of arts and culture The Kimmel Cultural Campus has finally reopened. Not only can you see world renowned shows and entertainment, you can again enjoy one of the finest dining experiences anywhere around at Volvér on Kimmel Cultural Campus by Chef Jose Garces. Recognizing the impact COVID has had on the hospitality industry, Volvér on Kimmel Cultural Campus will support chefs that were hardest hit during the pandemic with a brand new Chefs in Residency Program that will spotlight the region’s top rising stars and emerging chefs, with a focus on minority chefs. We are thrilled that we will get to talk to the first resident of Volver from October 6 to November 28, 2021, Chef Kiki Aranita the Co-Owner/Operator of Poi Dog Philly in Philadelphia, PA. After gaining her experience in various restaurants and food trucks, Aranita wanted to share her experiences of what people eat in her hometown of Hawaii, to the city of Philly.

Then we will be joined by White Dog Cafe Wayne’s Chef du Cuisine Josh White. White Dog Cafe locations in Haverford and Wayne are partnering with Martha’s Choice Marketplace sponsored by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, the most visited food pantry in Montgomery County, to celebrate National Potato Day, October 27, 2021, and to bring awareness to the need to build communities through access to healthy food. Martha’s Community Farm in Audubon where produce including potatoes are grown in a partnership with Garden of Health distributes fresh produce and food free of the top eight allergens to food pantries, low-income senior housing and community groups in Montgomery and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania. Martha’s Community Farm started in February 2021 and seeks to build upon the community-building principles that drive their Choice Marketplace, in an effort to form partnerships in growing food for Martha’s and the many pantries of Montgomery County. Working alongside partners such as the Penn State Master Gardeners, Garden of Health, HopeWorx, ACLAMO, and The Villanova MBA program, among others, they are bringing together volunteers and partners from across Montgomery County to grow culturally appropriate foods that better meet the variety of needs their clients face. They are not simply growing food, they are growing community!

Celebrating their 5th Anniversary of reopening The Oaklyn Manor Bar they are proud to introduce their new Head Chef, Chef Jason Dubin to enjoy lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch or late-night snacks. The Manor has always had a wonderful outdoor patio bar and enclosed dining area to enjoy your food, friends, and beverages.

The Manor has been a community space where people have gathered to drink, eat, and socialize for more than 50 years. They’re a family-owned and operated business that reopened the Manor in 2016.

Last, but certainly not least we will be joined by author Bridget Thoreson of ‘The Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook: Bewitch-ingly Delicious Recipes for Fans of the Halloween Classic’ from Ulysses Press. Since its debut in 1993, the movie Hocus Pocus has achieved cult-classic fame, with both children and adults as a loyal fanbase. The Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook is filled with over 60 recipes for fare inspired by everyone’s favorite witches and their spells, potions, and schemes. It is the ultimate must-have for fans of all ages—but don’t worry, no children were harmed in the test of these recipes. Inside you’ll find frightfully delicious recipes.

The Fanwood Grille (34 South Martine Ave., Fanwood) within six months of opening won the award for having the Best Soup in New Jersey, according to The The Daily Meal food website. Well Last summer, Fanwood Grille established themselves as a destination for fans of authentic Maine lobster rolls, and now has a growing reputation for its foot-long hot dogs. The eatery serves home-cooked food made on-premises with fresh ingredients and a little flair. (This in addition to having a classic diner/luncheonette menu of breakfast, burgers, grilled cheese, salads, soups and granola made from scratch on premises.) Some customers believe the Chicken Noodle Soup is almost medicinal and call in advance to reserve it because it sells so quickly. Along with other classics like Lobster Bisque, creamy Butternut Squash, and the award-winning New England Clam Chowder, chef Paul Watterson has invented soups including Mango Chicken Habanero, Falafel Soup (vegan and gluten-free),Italian Hot Dog Soup, and Cream of Thanksgiving Soup.
