An Evening in Tuscany
“An Evening in Tuscany” The Dade City Garden Club is pleased to announce their sixth cooking school, “An Evening In Tuscany”. The event will be held in the gourmet kitchen of Sonny’s Appliances, in Dade City on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 6 PM. The preparation for each course of the meal will be demonstrated by our chefs and then served to the guests. Each attendee will receive a copy of all of the recipes. Seating is limited to 48 guests and tickets are $45.00 and must be reserved by calling (352) 567-6841. The guest chefs for the evening wil be RJ Webb from Wiregrass High School Culinary Arts Academy and Jessica Cooper from Land O’Lakes High School Culinary Arts Academy. Mr. Webb will be demonstrating the appetizer and entrée courses and Ms. Cooper will be performing the intermesso and dessert demonstrations. Tuscan cooking is about the true essence of the food. The Tuscan region is the home of exceptional olive oils, artisan cheeses and fresh meat. With these simple ingredients, you are able to bring out the natural flavors in a recipe. Our chefs are preparing just such a menu! The appetizers Mozzarella Caprese with Crostini and Ceviche on Endive are followed by an entrée of Chicken Roulade (stuffed with feta cheese, spinach and red peppers) drizzled with Parmesan Cream Sauce served with Rice Pilaf and glazed baby carrots. A dessert of Tiramisu will follow the palate cleansing intermesso. The appetizer and entrée will be paired with complementary wines selected by Eric Goltry of Lakeland.
