Rachael Ray & Ted Allen Coming to Princeton

Before you scroll down to get the scoop on the latest culinary luminaries about to visit our Ivy League town, check out my May 25th In the Kitchen column in the Princeton Packet about a gastronomic event of a different stripe: an annual Italian feast at Princeton University that is, in effect, the final exam for students taking a course titled The Literature of Gastronomy. I had to get a taste, of course!

Barnes & Noble at Market Fair Rocks!

Last month it was Martha Stewart. For June, its Rachael Ray and Ted Allen who will be coming to sign their latest cookbooks at the store on Route 1 South in Princeton. Pretty impressive.

English: Rachael Ray in Enterprise, AL. She, along with many others, sponsored a senior dinner and the Senior Prom for Enterprise High School in Enterprise Alabama, which was hit by a tornado March 1, 2007.

Rachael Ray’s tome is The Book of Burger and she’ll be signing away beginning at 6 pm on Wednesday, June 6. Of course, you’ll need to get a wristband first (the line forms at 4 pm), and purchase at least one copy of the book from Barnes & Noble to even get in line to meet the popular TV host.
