Pastry chef Garrett Melkonian will be serving recipes from the book such as passion-fruit curd, bourbon brown sugar ham, and roasted fennel with black olives. We’ll get you a schedule of upcoming events as soon as it’s firmed up.Cost: $35 (includes a copy of the book)Location: Dahlia Bakery, 2001 Fourth Ave.For reservations (limited to 25 people), email robynwolfe@tomdouglas.com.
