The fourth annual Tour of Kitchens takes place on January 26, 2013 and gives participants a sneak peak into some of Coral Gables finest kitchens. The event is a fundraiser for the Coral Gables Community Foundation, founded in 1991 by community leaders to serve the needs of residents. During the self-guided tour, participants visit private home kitchens throughout the City Beautiful and enjoy tastings from local restaurants and caterers.
Stunning interior design and table settings provide a visual feast. Home cooks can expand their knowledge in cooking demonstrations; shopaholics have foodie merchandise, artisan foods as well as home goods to purchase and will especially love a giant garage sale hosted by Les Dames de Escoffier Miami. The tour begins at 10 AM at Snaidero Showroom where participants can pick up a Tour Program and Map.
Addresses are not revealed until the day of the tour. Participants may visit the homes in any order they please between 10 AM and 2 PM. The tour concludes with a champagne and dessert reception in the courtyard of Books and Books, featuring desserts by local artisans and local cookbook authors available for book signing. This year, the tour includes an exclusive Patron Party on January 17 for guests to sample food by a talented local chef in a private home.
