Guild Hall’s popular series of Sunday culinary conversations, “Stirring the Pot,” return this summer to the newly renovated theater. Hosted by New York Times food and wine writer, Florence Fabricant, the series now in its 14th year, kicks off on Sunday, July 28, at 11 a.m. with Daniel Humm, award-winning chef and owner of Make It Nice and the highly acclaimed Eleven Madison Park.

Chef Humm’s appearance is a repeat for Guild Hall, which first hosted him when his EMP Summer House pop-up opened in East Hampton. He has now become a resident of Montauk. His Manhattan menu has notably shifted to be plant-based, and the topic of conversation will be discussing the change, why it happened and what it has taken to achieve, with great advice for those in the audience who plan more vegan cooking and dining. He may be persuaded to talk about his new restaurant, and Clementine, his new upstairs bar.

The second “Stirring the Pot” will be August 4, with Giada De Laurentiis, Emmy award-winning TV personality and New York Times best-selling author and founder of Giadzy. Chef and restaurateur De Laurentiis will speak about her career, specifically Giazdy — her line of Italian products just coming to market — and her restaurant Giada, which has locations in Las Vegas and Scottsdale. All attendees will receive a special code to redeem a free box of pasta on Giadzy.com.

The third installment of the series, on Sunday, August 18, will feature Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald of Levain Bakery. The accomplished bakers have made bread for some of New York City’s favorite restaurants before eventually opening a small bakery, which has become a chain with an outlet in Wainscott. They are known for their famous industrial-strength 6-ounce cookies, and those attending this event will receive a sampling.

The series finale on August 25 will present chef, TV personality, philanthropist and newly inducted member of Guild Hall’s Academy of the Arts, Marcus Samuelsson with special guest David Rockwell. Samuelsson’s restaurant portfolio is global, and includes his latest, Metropolis, which was designed by Amagansett vacationer David Rockwell and is located within the new Perelman Arts Center, named for East Hampton resident Ronald O. Perelman.

“The prospect of returning to Guild Hall, now beautifully renovated, is a thrilling milestone for this series,” said Fabricant. “I look forward to welcoming an audience of repeat followers and newcomers.”

All “Stirring the Pot” events will include a complimentary breakfast, which will be served at 10 a.m. followed by the discussion at 11 a.m. Tickets for each talk are $35 ($31.50 for members) at guildhall.org. Guild Hall is at 158 Main Street, East Hampton.
