This event is was SOLD OUT We are sorry if you missed it. The event was attended as a virtual zoom event, with Chef David Salt in attendance. All in all, it was very good and I personally have never had Beef Cheeks, as tender as Pâté. Beef cheeks are not often seen in North America, but in the EU it is delicacy and very expensive. The Smoky Jerusalem Artichoke Velouté Soup was superb. I could live on it forever.
