Angelo Pellegrini was a UW professor, avid home cook, gardener, and winemaker, and author of many a seminal book extolling simple pleasures of eating well. His message might seem obvious these days, but remember the man was talking about making your own pesto in an era when olive oil was usually purchased at a pharmacy. Now
Cafe Lago has launched a monthly dinner in his honor; the $75, six-course meal kicks off at 6:30 and each one features a guest with a special connection to Pellegrini. And considering local seafood sage Jon Rowley is organizing these dinners, and Pellegrini's fans include everyone from Ruth Reichl to Greg Atkinson, this should be a convivial night, indeed.
