home cooking and pasta making with dc chef anthony digiulian

You can listen to the show on Buzzsprout, ITunes, Spotify, TuneIn, Stitcher, Pandora and I Heart Radio.

On this episode we have our good friend Anthony on the show. This episode is a little different. Our guest isn’t a professional chef, and doesn’t even work in a foodservice setting. He is a very serious home cook, who’s passions include pasta and Italian food, fermentation, charcuterie and gardening. Last year, he and chef Chris Spear of Perfect Little Bites did a pop-up dinner in downtown Washington D.C that focused on homemade pasta.

Since pasta is one of Anthony’s favorite hobbies, he shares a lot of resources which we’ve listed below.

Chefs to Follow: David Marcelli, Rob Gentile, Anthony Andiario, Todd Stein, Dan Barber, Ben Fatto, Kris Lee, Evan Funke, Luca Donofrio, Michele Forgione

Businesses Mentioned: Inferno Pizzeria Napoletana in Gaithersburg, MD

Cookbooks: Zahav- Michael Solomonov, Six Seasons- Joshua McFadden, Flour & Water- Thomas McNaughton

If you want to check out Anthony’s pasta work on Instagram, here are individual links to his pasta videos: Trofie, Fusilli, Strascinatii, Orecchiete, Capelleti, Garganelli, Cavatelli, Agnolotti, Tortelloni, Chitarra, Farfalle, Malloredus and Caramalle
