From The Kitchens of The Food ChannelOur chefs and culinary artists not only create foods and recipes for visitors to our site, they also cook up some wonderful creations for visitors to our Rivercliff retreat. While the kitchen quarters are a bit closer here than at our Food Channel Culinary Center, the results are just as delicious.
Recently, the better part of our Food Channel culinary staff was enlisted to feed four score and more U.S. citizens who had gathered for a late summer fund raising event. Photographer David Nehmer was on hand to capture the proceedings.
