Join hosts John Viola, Patrick O’Boyle, and Dolores Alfieri Taranto as they welcome special guest Kathy Whims, acclaimed chef, restaurateur, and author of The Italian Summer Kitchen. Together, they dive into the joys of the Italian summer kitchen during a sizzling New York City heatwave.
This lively conversation is a feast of humor, culinary wisdom, and cultural reflections. From fresh pasta on the Amalfi cliffs to fried chicken in the American South, the group explores the delicious parallels between Southern Italy and the American South. Along the way, they share stories of family traditions, baptisms, and even the joy of home-raised chickens—all steeped in deep Neapolitan roots.
Kathy shares her journey of bringing authentic Italian flavors to Portland through her celebrated restaurants and cookbooks. Her dedication to seasonality, stunning recipes, and watercolor illustrations make her new book an inspiring addition to any kitchen.
Expect laughs over technical glitches, warm interruptions, and heartfelt stories as the hosts and guest celebrate the liberating aspects of aging, the universal comfort of Italian cuisine, and the enduring power of food to bring people together.
