The American Association of University Women (AAUW) Petaluma Branch will present their first annual Local Chef
Farm-to-Table Cooking Demonstration on Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 11 AM – 2 PM in Beverly Wilson Hall at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Petaluma.

Featured chefs for this event are Amber Balshaw from Preferred Sonoma Caterers in Petaluma and Bert Smith, proprietor of Bert’s Desserts of Petaluma. In addition, local food purveyors of olive oil, sausage, beef jerky, sauces and cheese will be on hand with samples for guests to try.

Cost is $25.00 per person and reservations are required. For more information and to reserve a space, contact Karen Nau at 707/778-0150 or Kpetersonnau@aol.com.

“Our chefs and the location of our event represent women breaking through barriers, which is something AAUW strongly supports as an organization,” explained Karen Nau. “Both chefs have achieved success in a traditionally male field, and Beverly Wilson was a real pioneer throughout her career in agriculture and fair management.”
