Scholarship Dinner with Adrianne Calvo

As the North Miami Campus’ latest Distinguished Visiting Chef, Adrianne Calvo '04 brings big flavors — and a lot of heart. She credits JWU with teaching her “the essential skills to become a good chef and to be competitive with the best that are out there.”

On February 1, she’ll be giving back by cooking a 4-course dinner alongside JWU students to benefit the College of Culinary Arts Scholarship Fund.

The event starts at 6pm with a reception, followed by dinner (with wine pairings) at 7pm in the University Center. The menu:

• Hors d’oeuvres: grilled shrimp with mint cilantro chutney and veal meatballs with whipped ricotta and arrabiata
• Soup: butternut squash with crispy chorizo and scallion
• Appetizer: roasted bone marrow with balsamic glazed cippolini onions and rustic grilled bread
• Entree: Maine lobster tail/claw with foie gras and whipped corn
• Dessert: Nutella croissant bread pudding with vanilla gelato

Cost: $85/per person. To RSVP, contact Irene Coroalles at 305-892-7578 or by email.
