Executive Chef, Lauretta Bonfiglio, from The Bistro Boquete Restaurant, will present a Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner Cooking Class on Thursday, November 12, 2009, beginning at 5:00pm. The class will be hands-on, so you will be able to cook along with Lauretta!
You can read about Lauretta on my blog, “Lauretta’s a Star!”. Her style of cooking was developed in Colorado, where she was chef and cooking instructor for many years. Her paired wine dinners are very popular at The Bistro and tickets to those events sell out quickly.
The menu for next week’s class includes the Thanksgiving turkey, Lauretta-style, with dried fruit stuffing and giblet gravy. She’ll show how she makes her signature twice-baked potatoes, real green bean casserole and pumpkin rum mousse. She’ll also include a few surprises.
The fee of $35 includes the hands-on class, full Thanksgiving dinner, recipes and a glass of wine or eggnog. Please bring your favorite knife, as your knife skills will be sharpened, as well.
The class will be held in my kitchen, just above the castle in El Santuario, Boquete. Lauretta and David are the perfect team to make each class so much fun, Lauretta cooks and David pours!
Please email me for reservations at boquetegourmet@gmail.com or my cellphone number is 6614-9514. You may pick up your tickets at The Bistro, but go quickly, there are only 4 tickets left!
We’re looking forward to seeing you at this “Very Non-traditional Thanksgiving Dinner Cooking Class”. TBG

The Bistro Boquete Restaurant
The big Bid 4 Boquete Auction is coming up on Sunday, December 6 at the Feria in Boquete. Folks are looking forward to the day of fun, bargains and the opportunity to donate to 4 local Boquete charities, Lions Club, Handicap Foundation, Rotary Club and Buenos Vecinos de Boquete. This year, there will be several “outside events”, including a cooking class presented by Executive Chef, Lauretta Bonfiglio from The Bistro Boquete Restaurant. These “outside events” will allow for more people to contribute to these charities in different ways.
On Thursday, October 15, Lauretta will teach 14 students the secrets of Mexican Home-style Mole Enchiladas, Chilies Rellenos Con Queso, Toasted Chile Pecan Ice Cream, plus a few more surprises. The entire proceeds will be donated to Bid 4 Boquete. This is an unique opportunity to cook with Lauretta, to learn some new techniques, to enjoy a full 5-course meal and to donate to 4 charities at the same time.
The event will be held in the kitchen of David and Cora Kent, in El Santuario, just above the castle in Boquete and will begin at 5:00pm. The first “dish” will be Lauretta’s twist on what she calls “the perfect Margarita”, served in a highball glass!
If you’d like a seat for this charity event, please write to The Boquete Gourmet at boquetegourmet@gmail.com.
