Corbo & Sons at Bell Market in Holmdel, NJ, welcomes two exciting food events Friday, April 5.
Author, food historian, and journalist Katie Parla celebrates release of her new cookbook, Food of the Italian South (Clarkson Potter, $30), at Corbo & Sons, the restaurant within Holmdel’s Bell Market, which specializes in Neapolitan- and Roman-inspired, wood-fired cooking. Buy tickets here!
Parla is a New Jersey native and Rome-based culinary journalist. Her new book delves into the culinary traditions of Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise, and Puglia, regions best known for their rustic food.
Executive Chef Richard Corbo and Sommelier Chantelle Corbo will host two different experiences to celebrate the release of the book: an aperitivo hour and a seated dinner. Guests will have the opportunity to meet Parla in person and enjoy recipes from her book.
5:30 to 8:30 p.m.: Aperitivo Hour
Corbo & Sons will prepare cocktails and a selection of dishes from Food of The Italian South in a taste-around, cocktail party format. Sommelier Chantelle Corbo will pair each recipe, served as individual tastes, with a hand-chosen wine. Tickets include a signed cookbook, cocktails, and tasting-sized samples of recipes from the book paired with wine. $65/per person + tax.
8:00 p.m.: Seated Dinner with Wine Pairings
This marks the kickoff to Corbo & Sons Friday Night Dinner Series, in the Green Room.
