Palmina Winery

edible Los Angeles is proud to announce that we will be hosting an intimate Italian dinner at the Scuola di Pizza, Mozza2Go’s brand new event space, in collaboration with owners Nancy Silverton and Joe Bastianich to raise money for the Garden School Foundation. Thursday October 1st at 7pm.

Tickets $250 each can be bo...oked through

BUON APPETITO!
Chefs Nancy Silverton and Matt Molina will cook in the fully equipped exhibition kitchen where we can watch the master chefs at work and learn the craft of pizza production first hand. The delicious Naples inspired dinner prepared right in front of us will be made using local sustainable ingredients because as Mario Batali tells me - 'it just tastes better!' Mozza received a green restaurant certification for all it's work to provide great food without damaging the environment.

ALLA SALUTE!
Joe Bastianich is flying in from New York and will be pouring a selection of his Italian wine, Bastianich, and wine from Palmina, a Santa Barbara vineyard that uses Italian varietals. He will share with us his vast knowledge of the vino we are tasting.

With only three long tables of twelve it’s going to be more like dining family style at an Italian villa than at the Mozza restaurant. Nancy, Matt and Joe will be up close and personal to answer questions and entertain us with food, wine and good cheer as we raise some money for a great cause.


BUONA FORCHETTAS
The Italian expression 'Buona forchettas!' means good eaters are made not born. To this end the proceeds from the evening will be given to the 24th Street Elementary School Garden for an outdoor kitchen so that the children will be able to make their own pizzas just like Nancy and Matt! Nancy Silverton is a founding member of the Garden School Foundation that runs the schoolyard garden and is excited to join edible Los Angeles to raise money to help them bring education to local school children through garden-based learning in outdoor living classrooms.

The 27th Annual American Wine & Food Festival

Welcome to the 2009 edition of one of America’s premier culinary events. Once again, many of the world's top chefs and wine and spirit purveyors will gather on the beautifully lighted back lot of Universal Studios, Los Angeles to raise a celebratory glass in support of the M...eals on Wheels programs of Los Angeles.

On the evening of October 3, 2009, a pantheon of food and beverage stars will exercise their considerable talents for the enjoyment of over 2,700 food and wine enthusiasts. The opportunity to sample exceptional dishes prepared by an internationally acclaimed group of chefs will be accompanied by live music, dancing, and a silent auction.

Since its inception in 1982, this Puck-Lazaroff Charitable Foundation event has raised more than $15 million for the Los Angeles Chapter of Meals On Wheels, which serves thousands of meals each day to Los Angeles’ homebound, senior and disabled citizens.

We most cordially invite you to join us in support of a great cause and a most memorable evening.
