one time only"mano a mano" sit down dinner session between NY based Venezuelan Chefs Maria Laura Quintero and Clarisa Penzini.Saturday, May 13th doors open at 9pm
“La tradición es aquella costumbre que las personas repiten con frecuencia dentro de un marco histórico, geográfico y de tiempo determinado”.
In “Dinner in Caracas” these female culinary leaders, will revive four of their favorite dishes, from traditional colonial “Mantuana” food recipes, to classic Venezuelan favorites. Both Chefs will evoke the colors, aromas, flavors and textures of their upbringing and culture yet utilizing seasonal and local ingredients, and giving each dish their own modernistic staple. As a result, they will strive to maintain their homeland traditions alive and consequently bring to each diner the possibility of enjoying dishes imprinted in their taste memory. Like in Danish film Babette’s Feast, to bring a mood where “old wrongs are forgotten, ancient loves are rekindled, and a mystical redemption of the human spirit settles over the table”
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to "Fundación Comparte por una vida", a non-for-profit organization currently helping Children Hospitals in Venezuela by sending basic needs like formula, dippers and baby bottles to their children.

"For this dinner, I pay tribute to my culture, to the country were I was born and raised. Venezuela, filled with contrasts, mixtures, and a richness in flavors originated from the cultural multiplicity that founded us, that constructed us as a nation.
“Mi propuesta es un acto de memoria en donde cada plato quiere evocar y reconstruir un pedazo de la cultura que somos” - Clarisa Penzini.
"My proposal is mainly a “menú Caraqueño” where sweet and salty flavors co-exists freely in the same dish, with typical indigenous, African and European ingredients. Elaborated from a rather classical perspective, the dishes I chose for this occasion are more related to family gatherings that take place around the table in Caracas. These dishes range from a Colonial period to the 60’s and 70’s. I here propose an act of memory, in which each dish strives to evoke and reconstruct a piece of our culture", Chef Clarisa Penzini
