Join the Culinary Breeding Network for the Sagra del Radicchio e Fagioli, a celebration of radicchio, beans and the passionate people who grow, cook and gather around them Saturday, October 24, 4 pm at The Redd on Salmon, 831 SE Salmon St. This year’s Sagra also marks the release of Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable—a book born from this community and celebrating the growers, chefs, breeders and eaters who helped transform radicchio from a little-known Italian vegetable into a movement.
Inspired by the Italian tradition of a sagra—a festival honoring local food and community—this joyful culinary experience celebrates the flavors and possibilities of the winter table. Taste your way through 40 tables curated by farmers, plant breeders, chefs and makers from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Explore the wide world of chicories and pulses alongside other unsung heroes of the winter table.
Tickets ($55-$70) available at culinarybreedingnetwork.com/events/sagra-del-radicchio-e-fagioli. Kids under 12 are free. Radicchio book pre-orders are also available ($40).
