OCTOBER 3 COOKING DEMONSTRATION AT THE ARBORETUMPaul Gatzke presented a cooking demonstration entitled Hassle Free Holidays on Saturday, October 3rd. By all accounts, Chef Paul outdid himself this time around! Along with his able assistant, Russell Gatzke, a beautiful Charcuterie Board, Baked Brie and other yummies were prepared and sampled by the lucky attendees. Thanks to attendee, Kathleen Levey, for the photograph of Paul and Russell. And to Betsy Oliveira and Susan Ricciardi for photos of the dishes, they certainly captured them in a very appetizing way! The lovely Dahlia bouquet was created with flowers grown by Russell in his Community Garden plot. Thank you Russell!
