Two Fabulous AIWF Foodie Events

If you are not a member of AIWF, shame on you. It is a great foodie organization that not only hosts great events, they donate time and money to culinary charities.main-logo.jpg Next Monday, March 10, AIWF is throwing a bitchin’ dinner party at York Street . Chef Sharon Hage is preparing one of her special seasonal menus. Seating is way limited and the evening will benefit Days of Taste, a unique discovery-based program that teaches fourth and fifth graders how food weaves its way from the farm to the table. The price is a steal–$125.00 for members and $150.00 for guests. Hurry. This will go fast. 214-696-2493.

Then on Friday, March 14, AIWF is bringing in eight big deal wine makers from the Loire Valley will be at Central Market in Dallas for an informal tasting. Now, listen up. Wine from this area of France is some of the finest in the world. My two favs, Sancerre and Muscadet Sevre et Maine, will be there along with several other small-production, artisanal wines from the region. It’s a cheap date: $25 for members, $30.00 guests. GO. 214-696-2493. NOW.

    As a Mom and professional who has worked with Days of Taste, I want to dedicate the following to all those who volunteer each year to teach kids about healthy eating.

    ODE TO DAYS OF TASTE

    How do we teach kids today to eat healthy?
    It’s not a question of if you are wealthy.
    High sugar, sat-fat, mucho sodium too,
    often the choice of kids to fifty-two.

    Days of Taste is a program that helps youngsters see
    fresh and healthy. Options that certainly must be
    considered as tasty, and easy to fix,
    for kids to consider a McDonald’s nix.

    Support this great program, help it grow thru Big D
    by sponsoring schools in this great opportunity.
    Contact your neighborhood school and request,
    a Days of Taste sponsorship, bring them the best!
