Organized by the Women's Auxiliary, the luncheon raises money to enhance the lives of the residents of the home. The funds support programming, such as pet therapy and music therapy, intergenerational programs, osteoporosis program of excellence, and other special projects.

More than 50 restaurants and wine vendors will be offering samples at this annual event celebrating the food of Queens, New York’s most ethnically diverse borough. That’s an unnecessarily modest and politically correct way of saying that Queens probably has more different ethnic restaurants than any other municipality on earth. Some so-called food luminaries will be on hand, including me. We will be judging a city-wide hamburger contest I hear. Whatever else I am up to, I’ll be meeting, greeting and signing copies of “Arthur Schwartz’s Jewish Home Cooking,” as well as my other books, the recently published and updated paperback edition of “Arthur Schwartz’s New York City Food,” “Naples at Table,” and my best-selling paperback, “Soup Suppers.”

Cook At Seliano Culinary Vacations
Sunday, December 30, 2007 to Saturday, January 5, 2008
Azienda Seliano
Paestum, Italy (about 30 minutes south of the Amalfi Coast)
$3,150, exclusive of air fare and land transfers
Celebrate the coming of 2008 with me and Baronessa Cecilia, our friends and families, at a gala New Year’s Eve party. Besides our usual three hands-on cooking sessions, we’ll be taking a day trip to Naples, where we will tour the core of the city, visit a recently reopened Caravaggio gallery, and have lunch at the famous Europeo di Mattozzi restaurant. It has one of the best pizzas in Naples, but we’ll also order an array of other traditional Neapolitan dishes prepared at the highest level.
Our second excursion day will be to the Sorrento peninsula and it includes a visit to Oplontis (in Torre Annunziata), the magnificent Roman villa of Nero’s wanton wife, Poppea. After our archaeological tour, conducted by Bob Harned, who besides being an accomplished cabaret singer is a genuine classical archaeologist, we’ll have lunch high in the mountains of Vico Equense. We’ll go to Masseria Astapiana, Villa Giusso, an old convent and now home to Cecilia’s friend Giulia Giusso Del Galdo. Besides enjoying lunch in her grand and unique 16th century kitchen, she’ll give us a house tour. (To see photos of the villa, go to astapiana.com, click on “enter,” then click on “photo gallery, then click on number 9 to see a photo of the kitchen.) After some shopping in Sorrento, we’re home to Seliano for a light home-cooked meal.
The cost of the week from Sunday, Dec. 30, 2007 to Saturday, Jan. 6, 2008, is $3,150, including every last thing except air fare and land transfers from and to airports. For general details about our cooking school and a link to Azienda Seliano, click on Cook at Seliano. (After this session, the next session of Cook at Seliano will not be until October 12, 2008.) |
