The Ferguson Forum -- Food Writers Panel

Three cookbook authors will be delving into a discussion about food topics that is whetting our appetites already. Here’s a look at the authors to be featured:

Katie Workman, author of The Mom 100 Cookbook, which has 100 recipes every mom needs in her back pocket.  I own this cookbook and can personally attest that it has saved me countless headaches in choosing a meal that my whole family enjoys.

Michele Stuart, author of Perfect Pies, is the owner and pastry chef of Michele’s Pies in Norwalk and Westport. Her pies have earned her 26 National Pie Championship Awards. My mother gets a dessert from Michele’s Pies every holiday and they are indescribably delicious.

Claire Criscuolo, author of Welcome to Claire’s: 35 Years of Recipes and Reflections from the Landmark Vegetarian Restaurant. Criscuolo is the long-time owner of the restaurant, Claire’s Corner Copia in New Haven.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for a wine reception with appetizers from Bar Rosso and Capriccio Café. Tickets are $15 and benefit the Library. A book sale and signing will follow.
