A Chef's Love Affair With Italy
Register for this Zoom Event
Chef Cathy Whims is an icon in the Portland food scene. She studied with Marcella Hazan and the very founder of Slow Food, Carlo Petrini, was present at the inauguration of one of her restaurants, Nostrana. She is a six-time James Beard “Best Chef: Pacific Northwest” finalist and winner of the coveted 2011 “Leccio d’Oro Osteria Prize” instituted by the Brunello Consortium of Montalcino. Additionally, she is one of two Oregon chefs who are part of the White House Diplomatic Corps of Chefs and an activist in the GMO labeling campaign.
This event is organized jointly by Caffè Culturale and Italian Portland.
Please consider supporting either one of these groups, even at the cost of a slice of pizza or a coffee!

The website Tonya Russo Hamilton had been using to share events, and news with the Italian community called Italian Portland was determined to be the perfect name to establish a nonprofit. The tireless efforts of Tonya, Christina Cavallaro Edick, and the new Board made it happen. See their new website.
