Healthy Spring Eating -- Not Spicy -- Debbie Duggan

Famous local chef, Debbie Dugan, invites serious and casual cooks to enter her kitchen, a little bit of Tuscany on the Central Coast, to learn about healthy spring eating. Her recipes this time will focus on some different herbs, sauces and seasonings, but won't be "spicy." You can relax and enjoy socializing and eating a gourmet meal prepared by an expert chef. During the class, Debbie will share lots of advice involving nutrition, cooking tips, shopping, where to buy, where to dine and how to get organized to cook and entertain. Printed recipes are provided.

The menu will include:

Her California favorite twisted Waldorf salad (delicious)
Steak and soba noodle stir fry (iron rich)
Thai vegetable stir fry
Artisan Bread
Two chocolate flourless cake with mixed berry compote

Recipes are printed in a packet, guests can watch or participate and they enjoy the food that is prepared in front of them. Questions are answered and guests always have a great time!

Debbie Duggan has trained in Europe's most prestigious culinary schools, including the Cordon Bleu in Paris and London, La Varenne in Burgundy, France and Avignonesi Culinary Center and Tenuta de Capezzana in the Tuscany region of Italy, the Emilia-Romangna region of Northern Italy, and most recently Southern Italy.

Locally, Debbie has guest lectured at Cal Poly Food Science and Nutrition Department, teaching Customs and Cultures in Food, and taught at Allen Hancock Junior College.
