Elaina and Rosanna Scotto host a family-style international feast, right in their own backyard. PHOTOGRAPHS BY ERIC STRIFFLER 102 HAMPTONS-MAGAZINE.COM 102-105_H_Feat_Entertaining_Ent_11.indd 102 7/7/11 11:20:33 AM Elaina and Rosanna Scotto Seedless watermelon salad with shaved fennel, radish, local rocket and honey dressing Sara Ziff and Chef Steven Greg Kelly Santoro in action Toasted fregula, roasted summer vegetables and lemon “The Scotto party is always an incredible mix of few weeks ago, my sister, Elaina, and I had a great idea to start the Scotto warmth, summer: gather 100 of our closest friends and family members, get amazing food, great A on a plane to Rome, have a seven-course meal in a restaurant at the Spanish Steps, get back on the plane and come home. An unforgettable 24 people and fun!” —DONNY DEUTSCH hours. The last time we checked, this fantasy would cost about $200,000. We thought about it for a solid 30 seconds—then moved on to Plan B. John, Elaina, We live to eat and we love to entertain, so we set out to bring Italy to our Rosanna, Marion and backyard in Southampton. Up went the tent and in came the troops from Anthony Scotto Jr. our family restaurant, Fresco by Scotto on 52nd Street in Manhattan. The staff brought the food and wine and filled the tent with sunflowers, and soon the air was filled with the incredible mouthwatering smells that could come only from an Italian kitchen run by pros. Our guests included TV stars who were ready for the best. I have been lucky to get to know so many of them while working as cohost of Fox 5’s Good Day New York. I love doing cooking segments, but I also know when to turn the show over to the experts—in this case, our mom, Marion. She makes sure there is plenty of food for the table: breadsticks wrapped in prosciutto and arranged in vases; platters of imported salami and cheeses; and, during cocktail hour, our famous Fresco potato and zucchini chips smothered in Gorgonzola and pizzas grilled on the barbecue. 102-105_H_Feat_Entertaining_Ent_11.indd 103 7/7/11 11:21:06 AM When it is time to sit down, that is when the Scottos spread out. We love long tables where Anthony Jr., John, Mom and the two of us can oversee and socialize at various parts of the room. We served a meal that we might have ordered at the Spanish Steps—seedless watermelon salad for the first course, followed by conchiglie pasta with lump crab. Smiles and shouts of “to die for” greeted our chicken meatballs. The wines flowed freely, and we won’t torture you by describing the desserts. The only downside of the event came when the lovely day turned into a chilly, windy evening. Thankfully, our tent had side panels that protected us from the elements, and the great conversation, the terrific food and the ambi- ence of Italy remained warmly inside.

    Commonweal Theatre Company presents I Love To Eat by James Still In performance: April 15 - June 27, 2021 products and markets. Beard nurtured a genera- tion of American chefs and cookbook authors who have changed the way we eat. James Andrew Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon, to Elizabeth and John Beard. His mother, an independent English woman passionate about food, ran a boarding house. His father worked at Portland’s Customs House. The family spent summers at the beach at Gearhart, Oregon, fishing, gathering shellfish and wild berries, and cooking meals with whatever was caught. He studied briefly at Reed College in Portland in 1923, but was expelled. Reed claimed it was due to poor scholastic performance, but Beard maintained it was due to his homosexuality. Beard then went on the road with a theatrical troupe. He lived abroad for several years study- ing voice and theater but returned to the United States for good in 1927. Although he kept trying to break into the theater and movies, by 1935 he needed to supplement what was a very non-lucra- Biography tive career and began a catering business.

  • Leading the Fight Against Hunger
    LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER 2010 ANNUAL REPORT Feeding America is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity. Our mission is to feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger. Each year, the Feeding America network provides food to more than 37 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, including 14 million children and nearly three million seniors. Our network of more than 200 food banks serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, securing and distributing annually more than three billion pounds of food and grocery product. Those member food banks support more than 61,000 local charitable agencies, which provide food directly to individuals and families in need.

It is hard to argue with statistics from a credible source, but the truth remains that high unemployment rates are holding steady and that 50 million mothers, fathers, children and seniors from all walks of life are still in need of healthy meals. The Feeding America network provides 37 million Americans with the food they need to stay healthy while they get back on their feet, but it is still not enough. To help the hungry, we must truly understand their needs.
