EVENT DETAILS:

Chef Dorette Snover, owner of C’est Si Bon! Cooking School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is pleased to announce that Chef James Parker, founder of Veggy Art, will be conducting a one-day class at C’est Si Bon! to teach the ancient art of garnishing. Veggy Art is a contemporary and attractive way of taking common fruit and vegetables and arranging them into exotic garnishes and centerpieces. This popular class will be limited to 10 students to ensure personal attention for all.

The class will be the culmination of Chef Parker’s visit to Chapel Hill the week of June 12th, where he’ll also be teaching young chefs at C’est Si Bon’s inaugural advanced teen week. Throughout the week, the teens will participate in a combination of local field trips and applied kitchen work. Chef Parker’s class is sure to be a highlight of the week in which the teens will master techniques from sautéing to wood fired oven cooking and prepare market-driven menus from their visits to an Asian market, the Mercado Central in Carrboro and the Raleigh Farmer’s Market.

Included in the cost of Chef Parker's class is a Centerpiece Gourmet kit that contains several cutting tools and an instructional booklet. The cost for advanced teen week at C’est Si Bon! is $525 per teen chef.
