From 12 noon to 2 p.m., Ms. Cappa who will make garden vegetable-inspired Italian favorites that are great for outdoor concerts, picnics or just for a light lunch or supper. Shoppers can watch her make Pane Pomodoro (Bread and Tomatoes) a very provincial version of bruschetta; String Bean and Potato Salad, a garlicky salad with string beans, hard boiled, eggs, potatoes, vinegar and oil; and Ciambotta, a mix of grilled or fried vegetables served with fresh bread, similar to ratatouille.
