dinner invitation

Last summer I had the great privilege of participating in the “Friends Cook” program at canelé restaurant. I came up with a honey-driven menu that featured LA beekeepers’ honey in all of the courses. I was nervous and intimidated beforehand and ended up having a blast. I learned a ton about cooking that day and was blown away by the talent and professionalism of everyone at the restaurant.

Corina (chef/owner of canelé) is letting me do it again. I’m more keyed up about this year’s than I thought I’d be - I will no doubt get some nice burns and drop some stuff on the floor.

You can see last year’s blog post here and also a piece I wrote about it for the LA Times Magazine here.

When: Tuesday, August 31st - 5:30-10pm

Local Honey Dinner II at Canele:

-Honey & pimenton roasted root vegetable salad
-Crispy, honey-basted half-chicken* with corn pudding & something green
-Eastside honey tasting with cheese & nuts
$32

*You silly Vegetarians will get shell beans instead of chicken.

I’d love it if you came.
