You may have already read the blog I posted about Chaparosa Grill and their generous donation to Haiti. I mentioned in my blog that Tony holds monthly cooking demonstrations at both of his locations.

I have eaten there before and always enjoyed the food so of course I HAD to see for myself what this demonstration was about! I am SO glad I did!

When I arrived, I saw that Tony had set everything up in the patio…heaters were on (which was nice because it was a little chilly out…yes, even for California), and there were two long tables set up with what seemed like regulars.

I promptly told them all that I was going to be posting a blog about Tony and the Chaparosa Grill and asked permission to take pictures throughout the evening and all agreed.

Dinner started with an appetizer of Spinach and Ricotta Crepes…

Followed by the main course, Indian Spiced Lamb Shank

(my Sister in Law Adrienne diving in)

(me following suit)

and then dessert, homemade Butterscotch pudding.

Wine was flowing and so was the coffee.

Tony’s presentation was flawless…he shared the recipes with us and then showed us step by step how to put it all together….he regaled us with stories from his home and a wonderful evening was had by all.

Visit their website and find out about the next cooking demonstration and join them for a wonderful evening off the beaten path!
