Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable
A Book Launch with Lane Selman, Margarett Waterbury and Shawn Linehan
Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable
September 29 at Enoteca Nostrana
Cathy Whims is throwing a party for the world’s most beautiful leafy vegetable—and the brilliant humans behind it.
Join us at Nostrana on September 29 to celebrate the release of Radicchio, co-authored by our dear friends Lane Selman and Margarett Waterbury. This is not your typical book. It’s an educational, deeply inspiring look at radicchio, complete with recipes, stories, and a love letter to biodiversity.
Lane has long been a collaborator and champion of this stunning (and bitter) vegetable. Through her Culinary Breeding Network work and events like the Sagra del Radicchio and the Variety Showcase - she’s helped expand how we see, grow, and appreciate all plants. What we think of as “vegetables” barely scratches the surface of what’s possible thanks to Mother Nature. Lane’s work in seed saving and preservation ensures that this living, natural art, and the biodiversity behind it, continues to thrive.
Bitter is better.
This will be a full-on soirée: part book signing, part meet-and-greet, part radicchio-fueled celebration. Expect drinks, bites, and plenty of time to chat with Lane, Margarett and Shawn and fellow radicchio lovers.
Your $25 ticket includes:
– Seasonal bites from the book
– One welcome drink (NA will be available)
– Option to pre-order Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable for author signing
After that, the bar is open for you to enjoy the afternoon at your own pace.
Please note:
this is a party, not regular restaurant service so our standard dinner menu won’t be available. If you’d like to dine at Nostrana that evening, we encourage you to make a reservation at nostrana.com/res.
Come join us as we celebrate this beautiful book, this vibrant vegetable, and some of our favorite people.
Radicchio Forever!
