ReRead Books is a thriving used bookstore and coffee cafe in the heart of Cheshire, CT which provides integrated employment training and job skill development opportunities for disabled young adults. We host monthly community-wide, special needs friendly events in the bookstore and our event venue, The Reading Room, that attract, engage, and inform people of all ages: author talks, children’s story hours and Disney character breakfasts, summer concerts and comedy nights, holiday-themed vendor strolls, and more!
We are honored to be hosting best-selling author Lidia Bastianich for a book signing on Saturday, October 24 from 3 to 4:30 pm, in our bookstore at 106 Elm Street in Cheshire. You can get a personalized signed copy of Lidia’s The Art of Pasta, a cookbook featuring 100+ authentic Italian recipes — from Old World classics like Ricotta Gnocchi and cacio e pepe, to Italian American favorites like Manicotti and Lasagna Napoletana — from the “doyenne of Italian cooking” (The New York Times). You’ll also get to take a photo with this Emmy award-winning public television host and successful restaurateur. Come pick up the ultimate pasta cookbook for yourself or the aspiring chef in your life to learn how to make simple, authentic, flavor-forward Italian dishes that the whole family will love!

Additionally, we are offering a special opportunity to enjoy a 4-course dinner inspired by Lidia’s recipes, along with a conversation with Lydia moderated by Channel 8 news anchor Alyssa Taglia. The dinner will begin following the book signing, at 4:30 pm on October 24, kicking off with a charcuterie board and wine pairing with Lidia Bastianich’s Wines. Treat yourself to a delicious authentic Italian meal in an intimate setting while getting to learn firsthand from Lidia’s decades of cooking expertise.
