Chef's Event
The third annual California Nut Festival is approaching on Feb 21-24.
The four-day festival is full of wonderful highlight activities, including The Chef's Event on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 11am and 4pm at Sierra Nevada Brewery’s Big Room.
There's no shortage of good eating opportunities in the region with an emerging Slow Food movement, top notch local caterers, and plentiful supply of fresh ingredients.
The Chef's Event features Deborah Madison, the founding chef of Greens Restaurant in San Francisco.
Casey Elston writes:
"Deborah Madison will bring a plateful of accomplishments to Chico. She worked for Alice Waters at the world famous Chez Panisse in Berkeley before opening her own restaurant, Greens, in San Francisco. Greens became one of the most acclaimed vegetarian restaurants ever. Madison ultimately gave up the life of a restaurateur to write a number of award-winning cookbooks about vegetarian dishes of all sorts, including scores of recipes that include locally grown nuts as a primary ingredient. Madison is familiar with Northern California, having been raised in Davis. She recently interrupted her hectic schedule to discuss her career and philosophy, and even provided a sneak preview about the nutty piece-de-resistance that will be on the menu for the Big Room’s lucky attendees."
