Details: Mount Washington Resort hosts the American Culinary Federation’s 31st Annual Taste of New Hampshire Food Festival on Friday, May 9. The gourmet delights will entice every palate during this annual fundraiser. Organized by the American Culinary Federation’s five New Hampshire chapters, this fundraiser benefits two ACF programs -- Chef and the Child and Chef and the Schools. The event also supports the continuing education courses in which member chefs are enrolled, as well as on-the-job training programs for culinary students. A great way to thank the special lady in our life, this Mother’s Day weekend is an exceptional place to celebrate with a hosted weekend of festival food and wine.

The Grand Gala cocktail reception will begin at 6 pm in The Mount Washington Hotel, with the ACF contributing chefs and businesses displaying their epicurean talents at this opening affair. There will be numerous live-action chef tables, each preparing their special hors d’oeuvres for the evening. At 7 pm, we adjourn to the award-winning Dining Room for a savory four-course dinner prepared by the ACF chefs, with dancing and music provided by the Mount Washington Orchestra.

Saturday, more delicious fun waits with culinary demonstrations and live musical entertainment.
