Stories on a Plate Cookbook Club: Pasta Night with Lidia's The Art of Pasta

Date: Thursday, May 14
Location: Coastal Table and Tales, Savannah
Time: 6 pm to 8 pm

If you’ve ever wanted to really understand pasta—not just cook it—this is the night.

We’re cooking from Lidia's The Art of Pasta by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich—a book that breaks pasta down into what matters: technique, tradition, and how to make it work in your own kitchen.

Last month, nearly everyone came in unfamiliar with the cuisine—and left talking about it, connected through it. That’s what this format does. And this time, we’re leaning into something more accessible, more familiar—and worth doing well.

How it works:

• Choose a recipe from the book
• Make it at home (from scratch if you want to build skill, or use high-quality dried pasta)
• Bring a shareable portion

We’ll gather and eat!

What you’ll get:

• A deeper understanding of pasta—beyond recipes
• Exposure to a wide range of dishes in one evening
• Practical techniques you’ll actually use again
• A table of people who care about food the way you do

Coastal Table and Tales will provide utensils, a fresh green salad, and beverages. You provide the dish and a serving utensil.
