Platemaker Dinner with Outstanding in the Field!

Spring Suppers: Tatsoi Salad

I’m so excited about our first Platemaker Dinner in the Watsonville warehouse on May 23 with Outstanding in the Field  www.outstandinginthefield.com. Especially about working with my good friend, Santa Cruz’s very own, Jim Denevan, is an artist and chef who started offering full course meals in the fields of farms years before anyone else did, offering food raised on the farm or nearby, evolving into working with other chefs and venues around the U.S. It is such an amazing program! I was happy to be a part of the early dinners when Jim was just starting…I was so enamored with what he was doing that I donated dishware for 50 to be used at the dinners.

Jim is also an incredible — and incredibly creative — artist. He creates colossal temporary land art, like these sand pieces shown here.  Jim swoops in when the tide is low and leaves behind intricate and gorgeous patterns and designs that can only be truly appreciated from a bird’s eye view. The temporary nature of these works are a large part of the appeal.
