Have You Heard of Chef Don’s Book Club?

Chef Don’s Book Club – Once a month Chef Don picks a book about food (not a cook book), selects dishes from the book and recreates them in class.  Join us once a month for a fantastic culinary literary evening of cooking and wine to compliment the food.

This month’s book is:  The Omnivore’s Dilemma

Chef Don Appearance Alert!

Come out and see  Chef Don at the Rural Hall Library this evening in celebration of Black History Month

Thank YOU, Leadership Winston-Salem!

We received a great letter last week from Leadership Winston-Salem and wanted to share parts of it with you.

Dear Andrew,

Our Human Relations Day breakfast and lunch received very high marks from the class as well as everyone else!  What impresses me every time we work with you is that you’re never late, you provide more than enough food, the presentation is exceptional and the price is right. Oh! And it’s always delicious!

We’d like to thank Dinny Forbes and all the staff at Leadership Winston-Salem for their business and their kind words!

If  you have an event that you need catered – personal or professional, we’d love to work with you!
