About Me
ANNETTE ZITO, Kitch-In-Charge
A native New Yorker, Annette was born into the food business, even rolling meatballs for her dad’s catering jobs by the age of 5! From her family’s beloved Bronx neighborhood deli, Nancy’s Delicatessen, and Manhattan restaurants, to the wholesale produce industry, she knows food.
While enjoying a career in marketing/advertising, then joining her dad’s metro NY wholesale produce business, her zest for cooking, entertaining, and all things food has only intensified. This is vividly clear in her annual celebration of the Academy Awards®.
RED CARPET MENUS:
Delicious Dishes Inspired by 20 Years of Oscar® Best Picture Nominations
I’ve gathered all of the recipes, menu plaques, and ideas created since 1995 and put them in one easy to use, fun to read book. It’s my culinary love letter to the movies.
You’ll have a front row seat to my Oscar® gatherings over the years, your favorite movies and Academy Awards® broadcasts. You’ll see how simple it is to turn any dinner into an Award-winning meal.
