Following the trend of pop-up restaurants, the talented young culinary artists of Sonoma Valley Teen Services are being showcased at the Community Cafe’ for one night only on Saturday, January 21, 2012, beginning at 6 p.m.

The youth will cook and serve a gourmet four-course tasting room, created in the commercial kitchen within the teen center. The meal begins with an amuse bouche of chile, cilantro and lime marinated prawn wrapped in crisp fingerling potatoes. The appetizer will be a butternut squash and chorizo soup with pan dulce. For the main course, green corn tamales, Puebla chicken and potatoes, rice, frijoles de fiesta and Jalisco slaw will be served. The meal ends on a sweet note with prickly pear sorbet with cinnamon and cajeta tuilles.

The cost is $50, with proceeds benefit the center’s work skills programs designed to engage Sonoma Valley youth in gaining experience for a sustainable future. For tickets and more information please contact Rebecca Hermosillo at 939-1452. The Valley of the Moon Teen Center is located at 17440 Sonoma Highway.
