Celebrity Chef Gale Gand :: A Dash of Wright

Inspiration, intuition, and improvisation are the tools of all great artists, whether architects or chefs. Gale Gand -- nationally acclaimed pastry chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, television personality, root beer maker, and partner of the renowned four-star Mobil, five-diamond AAA, Relais & Chateaux Relais-Gourmand restaurant Tru -- shares her creative process, draws parallels with the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, and whips up something special in front of us in Unity Temple. Reception and book signing to follow. Everyone will get a taste of a delicious Gale Gand creation!
Copies of Gale Gand's Brunch!, Chocolate and Vanilla, Short and Sweet, Just a Bite, and Butter Sugar Flour Eggs will be available for purchase and signing, or bring your own copies to be signed.

It was an outrage! Copernicus claimed the sun -- not the earth -- was at the center of the universe.

Reception and book signing to follow. Co-sponsored by the Illinois Science Council.
