Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate!

February is all about chocolate and we just can't get enough!

Join us as we welcome Pastry Chef Laurie Pfalzer of Pastry Craft for demonstrations on simple and sexy chocolate treats to make for your Valentine. She will be whipping up silky Theo Chocolate Fondue with special sweets for dipping and dark and milk chocolate barks with nuts and dried fruit. This is a great chance to get some tips on tempering chocolate while enjoying delicious treats! Chef Laurie will wrap up the demonstration with Douglas Fir Hot Chocolate - a Pacific Northwest specialty.

Along with great tips, you need great kitchen wear! Save 20% on all aprons, table linens, napkins and produce bags by "A Greener Kitchen" during the event!
