A slice of Italy, in particular its food, will be touching down on the Island next week on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 5 p.m.

The folks at the Vineyard Grocer will be holding their second cooking class and dinner focusing on various regions of Italy.

Never Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen

Never Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen

The Martha’s Vineyard High School culinary arts program is a great training ground for future chefs — hopefully future Island chefs. It’s a hands-on learning experience of all facets of the restaurant business: The students not only prepare and cook the food, they learn how to present and serve it too.

Coming Together Around Arts and Culture

On Wednesday, Feb. 23 from noon to 1:30 p.m. there will be a brown bag lunch at the Old Whaling Church entitled An Arts and Cultural Collaborative for Martha’s Vineyard: Lessons from Cape Cod.

The title of the talk sounds intriguing in a friendly neighbor sort of way. Hey, let’s see what’s up on Cape Cod.

But in truth the event is an important milestone for the Island because it is the inaugural meeting of the Martha’s Vineyard Arts and Culture Collaborative.

Island Chef Cooks Up a Winner in Providence

It’s a good news, oh darn kind of announcement. Island guy Nemo Bolin was recently nominated by Food and Wine Magazine for best new chef in New England. That’s fantastic news for Mr. Bolin. He can add this to his budding trophy case of tributes. Last March his restaurant, Cook and Brown, was chosen by Esquire as one of the top 20 new restaurants in the country. In November he was given the Golden Plate award by television’s Billy Costa.

Eat Dinner, Watch Dessert

Before you head to the sweet shop, how about a trip to France.

This Friday, Feb. 18, before the evening performance of Willy Wonka, Les Troubadours are putting together a French meal to be held at the high school cafeteria.

The meal will be served from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and consists of chicken marsala or vegetarian ratatouille with salad, rice pilaf and green beans.

The cost is $12 for adults and $8 for children with proceeds benefiting the Les Troubadours French club spring trip to France.
