Culinary Club In-Home Dinner-
California Cuisine
Join us on Saturday, June 6th starting at 6:00pm for a dinner celebrating the bounty of the Golden State. You and your hosts will create a menu featuring coastal seafood and/or locally raised meats and poultry, and fresh farm to table produce.
California cuisine typically incorporates diverse culinary influences, including Mexican, Asian, and Mediterranean; truly something for everyone!
Hosts will prepare the main course and side dishes. Guests will complete the meal with either an appetizer, soup/salad or dessert. And don’t forget the California wine!
Get ready to enjoy a delicious and delightful evening with friends, old and new!
