Participants are required to bring their own paint and brush supplies, canvas, water containers, palette, tape, and painting cloth. Easels will be supplied.

Presenter Heather Burton

Heather Burton has put together two nights of cooking, each highlighting a unique regional cuisine. Choose one, or both -and mangia! Techniques and recipes will be demonstrated with tasting for everyone.

Fijian Appetizers

The cuisine of Fiji draws from the whole South Pacific, the Indian population, and from other Asian countries for its ingredients and spicing flavors. Seafood is abundant, and greens of many kinds are both cultivated and gathered. The flavors are blended to produce tasty tidbits to serve before a meal or at a deck party.

French “Mother Sauces”

There are five basic sauces on which many other “daughter” sauces are based. Come and learn how to perfect the mother sauces and how to enhance them with other ingredients to make delicious variations. We will taste food that is perfectly complemented by each of the sauces, and some of their variations.
