Cook through INGREDIENTI during the month of JUNE and drop by with your favorite dish on JUL 11—all are welcome! Ingredienti is Marcella Hazan's last book, her last words, finished by her husband, Victor. Here, her warm, opinionated voice is stronger than ever, delving out further rules, personal anecdotes, and simple, seasonal recipes. Marcella proved that a meal with as little as three ingredients could be remarkable, so the plan is to cook simply and seasonally this June using her voice as our guide.

THE SALOON AGITATORS:A Lecture with food and booze!WEDNESDAY → JUN 14$25, 7:30p
The Anarchist Emma Goldman said, “If I can’t dance to it, it’s not my revolution.” So kick up your heels, raise a glass, and join us at Archestratus Books on June 14th at 7:30p for Revolutionary Feasts: The Saloon Agitators. We'll learn about how the saloons, cafes and theaters of the Lower East Side nurtured the “beautiful ideal” of anarchist revolution at the turn of the 20thcentury. Along the way we’ll meet “the priestess of Anarchy,” the “Rebel Girl” and a host of radical personalities as we honor the neighborhood’s history of rebellion. $25 includes a beer and some tasty period appropriate bar grub!
