PATRICIA WELLS
Friday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m.

One of the eminent food and cookbook authors at work today, Patricia Wells makes this welcome visit here from her home in Provence to discuss her newest, Vegetable Harvest: Vegetables at the Center of the Plate (Morrow). "Wells, the author of several cookbooks including The Provence Cookbook, puts vegetables center stage in this appetizing and innovative collection. After surveying the bounty of her backyard garden, Wells became inspired to build meals around vegetables rather than starting with meat, fish, or poultry. She tripled the number she served at each meal and tried different cooking methods, looking for the best-tasting, most wholesome ways of cooking each type...Wells offers a fresh perspective and wealth of options for making vegetables the centerpiece of every meal. This collection is highly recommended for cooks and gardeners alike." - Publishers Weekly. Patricia Wells is the James Beard Award-winning author of Patricia Wells at Home in Provence, and such other notable books as Bistro Cooking and Simply French. She has also been a leading restaurant critic, writing for The International Herald-Tribune and (the only American, and woman) for L'Express. This evening should be a great pleasure.
