Slow Food, Fast Cars: Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore in Conversation with Ruth Reichl

Join Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore, the world-renowned husband-and-wife duo behind the globally-celebrated three Michelin star restaurant Osteria Francescana and recently opened guest house Casa Maria Luigia, for a conversation with Ruth Reichl around their new book, Slow Food, Fast Cars: Casa Maria Luigia - Stories and Recipes.
The modern master of Italian gastronomy, Bottura is renowned for bringing boundary-pushing cooking techniques to Italian regional cuisine. Bottura and Gilmore’s new book celebrates the immersive experience of Casa Maria Luigia - their restored 18th-century farmhouse and inn in the dreamy countryside of Emilia-Romagna - paradoxical birthplace of Parmigiano Reggiano and Ferrari, balsamic vinegar and Maserati - what they call “the land of slow food and fast cars.” Hear bottura and Gilmore talk with Reichl about the region, what makes Casa ML so special, and the beautiful food featured in their book, from their “Take It Easy” Sunday lunch menu, to the legendary breakfasts, to the alchemy created by roasting fruit - and about Food for Soul, their global mission to combat food waste and feed the hungriest.
