Guest chef at Pranzo Italian Grill
Sometimes, too many chefs in the kitchen can lead to wonderful surprises. Christine Hickman, chef, baker, caterer and owner/lead instructor of the Sono Carmelo cooking school in Perugia, Italy, joins the Pranzo kitchen staff for two evenings filled with authentic Italian comfort foods.
Special dishes available Friday include Grilled Lamb Loin Chops with Olive-Mint Pesto; Asparagus & Prosciutto Bundles with Parmigiano-Reggiano Shavings and Bruschette with Herbed Oil. On Saturday, Hickman whips up Beef Tagliata (Tenderloin) on Arugula with Parmigiano-Reggiano Shavings; Roasted Red Bell Peppers with Capers & Balsamic Vinaigrette; and Bruschette with Herbed Oil.
Hickman might even be convinced to stroll by your table —
in lieu of being serenaded by her, you might just ask Hickman for her Seared Pork Bocconcini with Mostarda recipe. Pranzo Italian Grill is at 540 Montezuma Ave. in Sanbusco Center. Call 984-2645 for reservations.
