I recently attended a culinary focused Studio b event and I must say it was a fantastic way for this foodie to spend an evening! (see pictures here) I spent a few hours learning new techniques, exploring new tastes (Cucumber/Bourbon cocktails!), and making new friends around the dinner table as we shared the fabulous meal we had all participated in creating. Our hosts were a lovely couple from NYC - James Briscione and Brooke Parkhurst - who are blazing paths in the new generation of foodies and professional chefs. Brooke is a published author and James has made appearances on the Food Network. It was a treat rub elbows with the rising stars and to talk with them one on one.
The next Foodie Event at Studio b is sure to be a crowd pleaser as well. Enjoy a night of demonstration and tasting on Friday, September 5 at Studio b in Alys Beach. And participants on Saturday, September 6, will immerse themselves in the cuisine of Morocco at an absolutely ideal location - the Caliza Pool at Alys Beach. Full details are below. Grab your friends and make your reservations soon as these events are limited in size.To register, email scoop@studiobthebeach.com.
