I recently mentioned how Curio Spice has opened a new space at Boston Public Market and what a wonderful and fitting edition, it is to this constantly-expanding constellation of culinary and cultural champions.
On Monday, September 9, Curio Spice Founder Claire Cheney will bring her piquant products to Verrill Farm in Concord as part of the kickoff event for the Culinary Guild of New England’s 46th year.
As Cheney has made her mark on the local and international food scene, she is welcome addition to the Guild. As she also gathers her single-origin spices from small, sustainable farms around the world, it makes sense that Cheney has been invited to one of New England’s most historic sustainable farms. After all, Verrill has been around for over 100 years and offers not only fresh produce, baked goods, and prepared foods, but also protected wetlands and the latest environmentally-friendly agricultural practices available.
At the event, Cheney will guide guests through a sampling of her acclaimed spices and talk about how she came to create and grow her fragrant business.
The Culinary Guild’s event will begin at 7 PM with a reception during which Cheney’s blends will be featured and will wind down around 9”:30 with desserts that have been crafted by Guild members.
Tickets must be purchased by September 4 and more information can be found at www.culinaryguild.org. Discounts are available for Guild members and membership also includes further discounts on goods and services from the Guild’s many members and partners as well as invitations to other special events.
Whether or not you are member, this event will surely be a great place to spice up your culinary curiosities and meet people of similar good taste.
