FANDANGO Catering Chef to Give Talk at Rice University

FANDANGO Catering's Executive Chef Jesús Lumbreras-Calvo will give a talk on using olive oil in cooking as part of a panel of experts in the showcase event "Olive Oil from Spain" at Rice University's Duncan Hall Oct. 29, 2010, 7-9pm.

The panel will also include a Baylor physician, an olive oil producer, and an olive oil importer. Each panelist will speak on different aspects of olive oil from Spain.

FANDANGO uses olive oil as the oil of choice in most of its dishes, not only Spanish dishes but Latin, American, and European dishes. Chef Jesús uses olive oil for sauteeing, braising, pan-roasting, salad dressings, or other savory dishes and then applies the condiments and preparations most appropriate to the origin of the dish--such as a touch of butter for French or German food, chilies for Latin food, and so on.

The Rice event will also feature tastings and educational materials. FANDANGO Catering will be providing recipe cards.

The event is free and open to the public.
