Eric Lehman and Amy Nawrocki, authors of “A History of Connecticut Food: A Proud Tradition of Puddings, Clambakes & Steamed Cheeseburgers” will kick off the evening with a presentation on the history of Connecticut foods. Their book includes the history and even the recipes of some historic dishes long forgotten and some still being made in our eateries today. Together they have gone out and explored Connecticut and are bringing it back to share it with us. Their many books reflect their passion for Connecticut, its history and all that make this state great. They will also have copies available of “A History of Connecticut Wine: A vineyard in Your Backyard” from their presentation last year available. The authors will be on hand during the tasting portion of the evening to answer your questions or have your book signed.
