Iron-Stomached Chef

Pen in hand, you watched hopefully as your favorite television chefs prepared pieces of culinary heaven. Maybe your attempts at catching glimpses of The Naked Chef’s “little chef” preoccupied you. Maybe you were intimidated by Martha Stewart’s perfumed menace. Whatever the reason, the dish you prepared looks more like something that comes out of the body than something anyone wants to consume. Your family pleads with you to get help. Fortunately help is as close as Macy’s at Dadeland Mall.

Watch and learn as chef Patrick Beaulieu cooks up a reminder of the Caribbean summers of his youth, at the summer picnic cooking class. Ask all the questions you want. Pay close attention. Prepare to astound yourself with newfound competence in the kitchen. Throw out the Pepto-Bismol and join Chef Beaulieu at 1 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, call 305-662-3350.
