Reinvented Italian-American Dishes from the Beloved Creator of Danny Loves Pasta and the New York Times–Bestselling Author of Justine Cooks
Celebrate the release of Italianish, the new cookbook from content creator, pasta expert, and home-cooking sensation Danny Freeman. Join Danny for an intimate evening as he shares the story behind Italianish—a playful, flavorful love letter to Italian cooking with a twist. Hear about the inspirations behind the recipes, his journey from TikTok favorite to published author, and his unfussy take on Italian-inspired cooking. Joining Danny in conversation is Justine Doiron, the New York Times–bestselling author of Justine Cooks and beloved creator of Justine Snacks.
Along with a little vino, guests will enjoy a selection of small bites straight from the pages of Italianish, offering a taste of the bold, comforting, and deeply craveable dishes that define Danny’s cooking style.
