Kanella's keeping it simple for Amis Industry Night

Chef Konstantinos Pitsillides of Kanella, who's guest-cooking at the first Amis Industry Night of 2011 (tonight at 10 p.m. at Marc Vetri's 13th-and-Waverly trattoria), says he'll prepare two dishes for the biz appreciation night: magiritsa (a traditional lamb's head soup with rice, egg, lemon and dill), and octapodi kathisto (octo stew with red wine/red wine vinegar, coriander and black-eyed peas). These'll go along with Amis chef Brad Spence and the rest of the Vetri crew's brunchy offerings, which will include egg salad/porchetta bruschetta and (breakfast) sausage paccheri. It'll be cold tonight, so Cypriot stews and Italiano breakfast sound like January-chill cure-alls.

Dear Mr. Lazor,I am a reporter at The Cyprus Weekly newspaper in Nicosia, Cyprus- the homeland of Konstantinos Pitsillides of Kanella. I would like to contact him but phoning is difficult due to the time difference and I cannot find an e-mail address. If they have one, please can you let me know (see e-mail above). Thanks and best wishes, Athena Karsera
