Dade City Garden Club Sponsors Cooking Schools

The Garden Club has two more cooking schools planned in it's series of
three events. The first school, The Flavors of Italy, was very
successful and everyone enjoyed Chef Bob Parrinello 's food and wine
pairings.

Our two remaining "cooking school" events will also be held at Sonny's

will be demonstrated and then served to the participants. Seating
