As if you need an excuse to visit the Four Seasons this fall, but just in case you do, here are a few (fun) events happening soon.
James Beard Preview Dinner on November 3:
Chef Fabrizio Schenardi and Chef Rabii Saber are set to present dinner at the legendary James Beard House! Experience the menu firsthand and send off the chefs at a preview dinner on November 3, 2016.
This invite-only opportunity is extended by the James Beard House to chefs based on numerous criteria, including national reputation and demonstrated culinary excellence. The dynamic duo is headed to the Big Apple to cook at the James Beard House on Saturday, November 12, 2016.
Schenardi and team will present a five-course dinner, including a shaved artichoke salad with wild watercress, ricotta, toasted pistachios and a Moscato vinaigrette; smoked Clear Creek wagyu beef with beef fat aioli, charred leek and garrotxa; Carabinero shrimp with a saffron broth, sunchokes and mint; Ellensburg lamb tenderloin with quince, pumpkin and maple; and an apple rustic tart, with Spanish tetilla cheese and vanilla gelato. Each course will be paired with a different wine. The menu was designed to showcase the diverse restaurant concepts at the resort, representing “a culinary tour of Four Seasons Orlando.” Enjoy flavors from local Florida fare to Cuban and then Spanish to Italian all in one evening.
Attendees will be invited to sign a special “lucky apron” that the chefs can wear when they’re at the James Beard House. The dinner is available for $95 per person (tax and gratuity additional). Call for reservations: 407 313 6161.
Italy, Italy, Italy October 27-29:
This October, Executive Chef Fabrizio Schenardi, who hails from Torino, Italy, will bring Italian guest chefs in partnership from the Italian Food Style Education (IFSE) Culinary School in Italy to prepare an Italian culinary extravaganza. Ravello will be host to several events highlighting the Piemonte region of Italy.
The three-day event will begin with a welcome tasting of imported Italian extra virgin olive oils with housemade breads, a decadent appetizer buffet, and wine tasting. Day two consists of a five-course Italian feast in Ravello and a dessert party in Capa; and a pop-up Italian Market will be offered Thursday through Sunday, to feature imported olive oils, wines, and housemade Italian pastries and desserts, from Chef Fabrizio’s bomboloni and biscotti to his housemade limocello and gelato. Visitors to the Italian Market can purchase these delicacies to-go, or can purchase and enjoy on property. A special Italian coffee lounge will feature delicious lattes, cappuccinos and more, to be enjoyed on the gorgeous outdoor terrace. Complimentary classes will also be offered to resort guests and to the public.
