We attended last evening’s Dinner and a Movie at the lovely Cascade Theater.
Sponsored by chef Doni Greenberg of Food for Thought/A News Cafe among others, this series showcases a food themed movie, and then features a cooking demonstration onstage. Last night, it was Doni, along with Nancy Matthews of Chocolat de Nannette fame. Mmm. Truffles. They have the recipe at the website. I learned a new word for mouth-watering: Ganache.

This was the 3rd in the 4 part series. The movie “Babbette’s Feast” was unknown to me. To say it was slow starter would be an understatement. But the film really grows on you, until the climax, which was as satisfying as the treats Doni and Nancy had made for us all.
We had a glass of Shiraz and enjoyed the exquisite treats they’d made for the audience.
Slow-shutter hand-held view. What a great evening! I hope they continue the series.
