Join me at 6 p.m. Dec. 11 when I host Chef Peter Rudolph of Madera restaurant for a holiday cooking demo at Macy’s Valley Fair in Santa Clara.

You’re in for a treat as Rudolph shows off one of his signature dishes that you’ll get to taste.

The East Bay native is the former executive chef of Campton Place Restaurant in San Francisco. Under his guidance, Madera in the Rosewood Sand Hill resort garnered a coveted Michelin star.

A favorite of Silicon Valley’s movers and shakers, Madera also boasts one of the Bay Area’s prettiest dining rooms with a panoramic view of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

I hope you’ll join me for what promises to be a very special time. The free cooking demo takes place in the culinary kitchen on the main floor of the Men’s and Home store.
