The event takes place Saturday, April 9 from noon-2 p.m. at the historic Biltmore Hotel.

Guests will sip Deutz Champagne while whipping up a splendid lunch at their tables led by Chef Schwartz, who will show guests how to prepare a deliciously nutty fregola risotto with shrimp, roasted corn and melted leeks to start. The main course will be light and healthy with a flavorful pan-roasted striped bass and Tunisian chickpea salad.  For dessert, guests will enjoy milk chocolate cremoso with espresso parfait – one of the chef’s most popular desserts at the restaurant. Immediately following the luncheon, Schwartz will sign copies of his cookbook, also available for purchase on-site.
