Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis to appear at Bistro Joseph-Beth’s Wine, Dine and Sign event
Cleveland, OH – The granddaughter of renowned Hollywood producer Dino De Laurentiis,
Giada De Laurentiis has the appearance of a silver screen actress with her flowing hair and her captivating smile. Yet the younger De Laurentiis chose to shy away from the glitz and glamous of a career in Hollywood for her real passion – cooking. Now she is a rising star on The Food Network with her show, Everyday Italian.
Fans of Giada De Laurentiis can meet her in person when she appears at a Wine, Dine and Sign event at Bistro Joseph-Beth Booksellers at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst. Her cookbook, which is also called Everyday Italian, will be featured. Tickets are $49.99 and include a copy of the book. A special menu from her recipes includes a caprese salad, vegetarian lasagna with cheese and rosemary breadsticks, and fruit salad with cannoli cream. Lunch begins at noon followed by a book signing at 1 p.m.
Everyday Italian is chock full of easy-to-prepare dishes, some of which can be made with staple items in the kitchen. The cheese and rosemary bread sticks, for example, incorporates refrigerated bread stick dough. Giada De Laurentiis wrote her latest cookbook to serve as a fun, useful and timesaving tool for novice and experienced cooks.
“I know people don’t have lots of time to spend in the kitchen,” she said. “Most recipes in the book are family recipes. Others are from the show and my catering business.”
With a menu that includes rotating chef specials and a monthly featured cookbook, customers are enticed to taste the latest delicacies. Bistro Joseph-Beth guests are never bored with the menu selections.
“The book store is an extraoridinary resource for our restaurant. It gives us access to talented and innovative chefs and their creations,” said Roger Ranalli, who is director of operations for Joseph-Beth’s restaurant division. “We can take excellent recipes from the best chefs in the world and feature them for a period of time. This keeps our menu fresh and evolving.”
Some items from the featured cookbook of the month even become fixtures on the menu.
“If a recipe is embraced by our guests, chances are it will become a part of the set menu,” Ranalli explained. “The determining factor is how well it sells.”
Chef Dawson operates the restaurant with his wife, and the Bistro manager, Kimberly Dawson.
“Two of life’s simplest pleasures are relaxing with a good book and enjoying flavorful cuisine with a glass of fine wine,” Kimberly Dawson explained. “You can experience both at our restaurant.
“You never get bored with our menu because it is consistently updated with new recipes,” Dawson added. “People look forward to coming back each month to experience the selections from the featured cookbook first-hand. It’s something they can’t do anywhere else.”
