Fandango Catering and Events to Offer Tapas, Food History Talk at Cafe des Artistes

Fandango Catering and Events Executive Chef and Owner Jesús Lumbreras-Calvo will offer a selection of Catalán tapas at the "Night in Barcelona" Paintings & Pairings event to be held April 10, 6-9pm, at Café des Artistes, the in-house café at the chefs' cooperative at 907 Franklin St. in downtown Houston.

Chef Jesús is from Madrid and spent a year in Barcelona. 

Yours truly will give a brief talk on the history of Catalonian food, including its recent Nouvelle maestros, to attendees as Chef Jesús brings out each tapas course for tasting and interacting with us and other guests. 

On the Menu:

• Shrimp in Garlic Sauce with Red Peppers
• Pa amb tomàquet (tomato and cheese crostini)
• Ham and Olive Croquettes
• Strawberries Filled with Gran Marnier Cream Cheese

The food history talk will be followed by a fun painting class based on Joan Miró's "Garden" painting taught by Lucrece Borrego, formerly art instructor at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe and the kitchen's owner.

This is the third in the Paintings & Pairings series at the kitchen and all classes have been very popular--people love to eat and socialize! No painting skill required, either.

Event price includes food, talk, painting supplies, and instruction.
