A Sleepover for Southern Foodies
With its thirty acres of farmland, focus on sustainability, and acclaimed restaurants, the community of Serenbe in Palmetto, Georgia, has been championing a slower, better way to eat since its founding in 2004. So leave it to cofounder Marie Nygren to bring together foodies and all-star chefs for a series of dinner parties that gives a whole new meaning to dining in.
Called the Southern Chef Series, the events pair a top chef from the region with a group of twelve lucky guests, who work alongside the chef to create an intimate, multicourse meal right in Nygren’s own kitchen. The series kicked off this past October with Chef Nathalie Dupree and will be expanding in 2010. A few spots remain for the next dinner, January 24, with Atlanta chef Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene and Holeman & Finch. Other instructors already on the docket: Top Chef standout Kevin Gillespie and TV hostess, author, and chef Virginia Willis. Along with dinner, the $425 package includes accommodations at the Inn at Serenbe, breakfast the following morning at the Blue Eyed Daisy Bakeshop, and a second lesson preparing lunch. Come hungry for knowledge. Come hungry to work. But most of all, come hungry.
