What’s Happening in Murphys this Week April 17 through April 27, 2013
Murphys, CA...Alchemy presents "Amateur Chef Sunday Night" - Are you an avid home cook and have ever wanted to cook one of your favorite, best, or traditional family recipes in a restaurant, with the help of a professional Chef, and then sell your dish as "Tonight's Special" to a restaurant full of people? If so, Alchemy's " Amateur Chef Sunday Night" is for you. Submit your recipes, along with photos and the recipe's story (if you have them) directly to Alchemy's Chef Jason Wright via e-mail. Jason will contact you with any questions. Every few weeks, he will choose a submission to be the featured dish. You will be contacted to come in and consult with Jason about your recipe. The Alchemy kitchen staff will take care of ordering the food and any of the hard prepping. The Sunday morning on which your dish will be featured, you may (but don't have to) come in to finish off the preparation with Jason. That night, your recipe will be Alchemy's Dinner Special. Invite your friends and anyone you want to impress. You will be encouraged to work with our servers to deliver each order of your featured dish to the table.
