Today is the day! Come and visit me at the Marin County Fair with our new feature, the Global Kitchen, 5 days, 25 chefs and one "Chef Wrangler" (me). Thursday, July 1 through Monday July 5th we will travel the globe from California, Peru, Mexico, China to Vietnam and beyond! Here is stage one of our set up, appliances in, tables set up. Next comes the mirror, decor and cook's tools. Stay tuned for the finished look.
I will kick things off with the 1:00 Demonstration in the Standards of Excellence Appliance Kitchen with my “Attack of the Killer Tomato Salads” class featuring a luscious Panzanella Salad and Plated Heirloom Tomato Salads with “Accessories”. I will be highlighting great techniques for tomato salads that you can use all summer long.
Whole Foods Market and Straus Family Creamery will be on hand to share tastes and tips all five days. I look forward to seeing what they will bring "to the table", literally!
At 5:30 I will host Michael Orlandi of Noci Gelateria (formerly Cici) located at 17 East Blithedale Street in Mill Valley, CA. He and wife Liana produce artisinal gelato known far and wide with traditional flavors and incredible innovations such as Mt. Tam Gelato (made from a phenomenal local cheese!) and Basil Gelato. Noci has one of Marin's only true street food carts (so to speak!) I know, very Marin! I love it!Also on deck tomorrow, more brilliant chefs:
– 2:30pm - Personal Chef Palak Patel of the USPCA & Sears Chef Challenge Finalist with Indian Aloo Chaat– 4:00pm - Chef Doug Eng, owner of In the Kitchen Culinary, creating Chinese Pot Stickers
– 7:00pm - Chef Guillermo Mejia of Whole Foods Market with Cubanos, Grilled Cuban Sandwiches
Five chefs representing five culinary points of view, what a way to travel! I can not wait! Global Kitchen Chef Demonstration Schedule.
