Please join us for our 6th annual Harvest of Hope fundraiser!
The Arc Connecticut is delighted to invite you to celebrate our 6th annual Harvest of Hope program, this year presented as a virtual culinary gathering of family, friends, donors and supporters.
In past Harvest of Hope celebrations we have featured gourmet dishes prepared and served entirely by volunteers. This year we are continuing this tradition — but now through a very special program: Through the Cooking-Class: A Culinary Tour Led by Celebrity Chefs.
So please join us as these renowned chefs share favorite holiday dishes in a 1.5-hour very special seasonal celebration — and please bring family and friends, too!
Tickets can be purchased below and are $35 Single, $60 Couple, and $100 Family.
Sponsorship levels are $250 Bronze, $500 Silver, $1000 Gold and $2500 Platinum. Details below.
MEET OUR CHEFS:
Chef Ubaldo opened Farmer’s Table August of 2010. Although "Farm to Table" dining is a relatively new trend, he has been serving food he grows himself and other locally sourced ingredients throughout his entire career. Learn more about Chef Ubaldo and Famers Table here.
Growing up in a great big Italian family set the stage for Chef Maffucci’s life-long love of cooking. He started working at the age of 12 in his parent’s restaurant Vito’s Pizzaria and after 40 years in the industry is so well known for his fresh pasta dishes, that he was asked by The Food Network to compete in Beat Bobby Flay, in October 2015. Learn more about V’s Trattoria here.
A four-time James Beard Award semi-finalist, Chef Blanton offers thoughtfully constructed cuisine inspired by classic and modern influences. Learn more about Chef Blanton and Café Kandahar here.
A native of Italy, Chef Conte studied and perfected his art throughout Europe before coming to the states, where he worked in New York City as Executive Chef for some of the top restaurants in the city, including Barolo, Acquapazza, Cellini and Fiorini.
