A Lavender brunch with star chef Andy Bates

 

What’s your (or your mother’s) pleasure? Here are choices for all tastes including a most unusual lavender brunch, music for the celebration, a chance to learn something new, and more. Two picks are on Saturday and others on MDay. For more choices for brunch, in case you missed it, my recent post on 7 new picks and an earlier roundup of classic choices.

How about a  Very British Lavender Brunch featuring BBC Celebrity Chef Andy Bates? Start the celebration early – this one’s on Saturday, May 13. But don’t expect a proper tea at Buckingham Place with pinky fingers up! Chef Andy will be shaking things up a bit and will speak to us about his modern twists on classic English dishes.There will also be lovely handmade lavender soaps, lavender bath salts, and lavender sprays to purchase for Mother’s Day Gifts, as well as a silent auction of great items.

Time: 2 to 4 p.m.

Please make sure you have a spot in advance by calling Les Dames South Florida President, Claire Tomlin, at 305.775.2166 and have your credit card information ready.

  1. Karen,

    So thrilled that you included Les Dames South Florida Very British Lavender Brunch featuring BBC Celebrity Chef Andy Bates!

    MiamiCurated fans, if you’d like to take your lavender quotient up to the bliss level, join us at The COMO Metropolitan Hotel this Saturday to see Chef Andy work his British magic.

    THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT, so do not delay in calling for tickets–phone Claire Tomlin at 305.775.2166 — because we don’t want you to be disappointed if this intimate brunch sells out before you get your seat.

    See you on Saturday! Les chapeaux welcome.
