This summer, the incredible Peter DeRuvo, the chef at Scottsdale’s Sassi restaurant, had the distinctive honor of showing off his culinary skills at the James Beard House in New York City’s Greenwich Village.

(If you recall, Arizona chefs have made quite the presence at the James Beard House lately; Quiessence Chef Greg LaPrad cooked there this summer as well.) Here is a peek at the “Italian Summer” dinner:
