Chef for a Day Fundraiser

Chef David Robinson of Bezalel Gables Fine Catering & Events reports that our July 12 fundraiser, wherein he invited people who made a donation to Habitat into his kitchen to share some culinary "secrets" was great fun.

In his words: "It was a terrific group of folks and we had a BLAST! We had 5 student chefs. Everyone who attended was a client or friend of Bezalel Gables! The class was greeted with local peach champagne and smoked cheese, we then toured the kitchen, settled into demo and cooking lunch: Blue Cheese Panna Cotta with Gorgonzola; Seafood Crepes with Shrimp and Caviar; Grass-Fed Local Beef; Sweet Potato Gratin; Roasted Roma Tomatoes; then we had creme brulee and homemade white peach sorbet. We served Hudson-Chatham Riesling and their Merlot with lunch.

"The baking portion of the class after lunch yielded enough for everyone to take home: 2 loaves of banana bread; dark chocolate-chip oatmeal cookies and a 9-inch plum clafouti each."

Mmmmm.....sounds positively yummy! Thanks again to Chef David for donating his time to help Habitat, and to those who took the class.
