| On June 25th the Wise Wo-men of Vallarta welcome Dolores Brittingham, who will be discussing "Gourmet Cooking with Shortcuts" at the International Friendship Club. | | From 10 am to 12 noon on Wednesday, June 25th the Wise Wo-men of Vallarta welcome Chef Extraordinaire Dolores Brittingham, who will be discussing "Gourmet Cooking with Shortcuts" at the International Friendship Club, Parian de la Puente #13 (upstairs), Libertad and Miramar in downtown Puerto Vallarta.
If you were to ask Dolores Brittingham what she likes to do best, she would say, "I love to cook, and gourmet cooking is my passion," and like all people who love to cook she enjoys sharing it with others.
What is gourmet - a person who likes and is an excellent judge of fine foods and drinks. Years ago she was asked by the owner of a prestigious cooking school in Seattle if she would join the staff, specializing in Mexican cooking.
Not sure she wanted to take on additional activities that would add to her full time work load as a tooling manufacturing engineer for the Boeing Company plus running a successful travel business on the side, she was finally encourage by her friends to do so. That was the beginning of her cooking career.
Eventually she started teaching in her home, combining both table settings and cooking demonstrations, covering cuisine from many countries. She has been in the teaching/cooking business for over 28 years. Dolores retired from the Boeing Company after 35 years of service, settled with her husband (Robert) in Puerto Vallarta and started Essence of Cuisine 3 years ago.
At the Wise Wo-men of Vallarta seminar she will be discussing short cuts to take when preparing a gourmet dinner party for 8 to 10 people, including food presentation, table settings, wine, and the correctness of reciprocation - to give in return an equivalent action. We hope to see you there.
