Author Talk: Renato Poliafito, Dolci!
I can’t help but be enchanted with Italian and Italian American baked goods like tiramisu, rainbow cookies, and cannoli, so I’m particularly excited about the release of two-time James Beard nominee Renato Poliafito’s new cookbook Dolci! American Baking with an Italian Accent, which is packed with sweet and savory recipes such as Aperol spritz cakes, butter cookies, cacio e pepe arancini, sourdough focaccia, and more. (Renato owns the cozy Brooklyn bakery and cafe Ciao, Gloria and has co-authored four other cookbooks.) Join him for a chat, Q&A, and signing at Book Larder. JULIANNE BELL
