April White, former Philadelphia magazine food editor, has authored a new cookbook and is celebrating her release in style. The cookbook, The Philadelphia Chef’s Table, features recipes from 70 of Philly’s top restaurants. Now you can whip up your restaurant favorites at home, whether that means making Percy Street Barbecue’s Cheddar-Jalapeño Corn Bread or Han Dynasty’s dan dan noodles. The book also acts as a guide to eating in Philly through narratives and descriptions of every restaurant mentioned. Kevin Sbraga of Sbraga, named as one of Esquire’s best new restaurants of 2012, joins White in holding a free cooking demonstration at the book signing event on Monday, October 8, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at La Cucina in the Reading Terminal Market.
