Hang out with the stars! You know these famous chefs from their books or television. Now you can learn from them in person.
DESCRIPTION - (D) Join Carole Bloom, pastry chef and author of the new book
Bite-Size Desserts. Petite desserts are perfect for parties and the holiday season, and in this session, she’ll make some of these delicious bite-sized gems while sharing her tips and techniques.
Carole Bloom studied pastry and confectionary arts in Paris and London, has worked in five-star hotels and restaurants around the world, and has taught for over 30 years. With so much experience—and with chocolate as one of her specialties—it’s no surprise that she’s the author of nine dessert cookbooks, including
Bite-Size Desserts; The Essential Baker; Truffles, Candies, and Confections; and Chocolate Lover’s Cookbook for Dummies. In addition to her books, Carole’s recipes and articles have been featured in Bon Appétit, Gourmet, Food & Wine, Fine Cooking, Epicurious.com, and other publications. Her television appearances include the Today Show, Better Homes and Gardens, and CNN.
DESCRIPTION - (D)
You’ll love this evening with Paula Deen. Paula is a self-made success story who learned the secrets of Southern cooking from her grandmother. Newly divorced with only $200 to her name, Paula and her two sons moved to Savannah. There she started her own catering business, The Bag Lady, where she prepared fresh lunches to sell to downtown. Her specialties (chicken pot pies, barbecue sandwiches, lasagna, and banana pudding) quickly became the talk of the town.
In 1990, Paula opened her own restaurant, The Lady and Sons, which could seat 42 customers. In 1995 she relocated to downtown Savannah, where The Lady and Sons has been ever since. The Lady and Sons has gathered accolades from critics and media alike. The most important honor for Paula was when the food writer for USA Today named The Lady and Sons “Most Memorable Meal of the Year for 1999.”
Paula’s business continues to flourish with a series of successful cookbooks.

After returning to Chateau Ste. Michelle as Culinary Director in 1990, John hosted the Emmy-nominated cooking show Taste of the Northwest. John currently hosts the internationally syndicated TV show Best of Taste: Travels With John Sarich. For John, educating others about the joy of wine and food is not simply a job, it’s his driving passion.
