Wood, Brick & Stone Riverhead (NY) Walking Tour

Michael Mosolino, a well-known culinary instructor and television host, began his kitchen career as a boy in Florida, taking jobs that brought him in contact with great restaurants and chefs. To support his young life as a runaway – the challenging life that is chronicled in his book – he developed a passion for people and food that has earned him great respect in today’s food industry. Michael spent his late teens in the Hamptons with his beloved aunt, Gloria Jones, widow of James Jones, author of From Here to Eternity and The Thin Red Line. At 20, he moved into Manhattan to pursue his love for the stage but ultimately returned to his first love – cooking. His resume includes PJ Clarke’s, Petaluma, and the Hampton’s own, Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten. For those who love to cook and eat, the book includes several bonuses – some of the author’s favorite and most famous recipes and a DVD containing several of Michael’s TV shows.
