Eat well, do good at our chef events.
Fresh Starts Chef Events offers a changing roster of celebrity chef demonstrations and culinary presentations by professionals with a passion for cooking.
We plan to relaunch our in-person dinners as soon as COVID-19 guidance and operations allow.
Guests have a firsthand view as presenters explain and demonstrate recipes, then enjoy a delicious meal as each course is served by our Fresh Starts team.
For regular news about upcoming events, please sign up for the monthly email calendar. Feel free to call 415-382-3363 x243 with questions.
