November is harvest time in Chianti, one of the most beautiful times of the year, and to celebrate, I am hosting a special 4-course Tuscan Harvest Dinner. 

In collaboration with chef Cosimo Ieraci, I will prepare some of my favorite dishes growing up in rural Tuscany. During the evening I will share stories about my family farm, the olive and grape harvest, and the classic dishes we'll enjoy during the meal.
