Meeting Chef Sanchez

On October 10, Chef Aaron Sanchez did a wine and food pairing demo at Stew Leonard's in Yonkers, NY.  He had a pretty good crowd watching him make three recipes:

 He made guacamole, a spicy and refreshing scallop ceviche in coconut milk, and a beef with chimichurri dish.

He also gave good suggestions for wines to accompany each.(the demo was sponsored by a wine importer)  The lucky crowd got to eat, drink, and ask questions while his sous chefs (from the French Culinary Institute) prepared and plated the finished recipes.  After the demo, Chef Aaron took the time to sign autographs, chat and take pictures with the crowd.

I really enjoyed his Latin dishes and I wish him continued success!
