Culinary History Enthusiasts of Wisconsin (CHEW),
August 5, 2009 Meeting, 7:15 PM
“Come over for dinner ... or brunch, or maybe a class: Dining at School Woods Supper Club” Debra Shapiro, host and head cook at the School Woods Supper Club, a private dining club on Madison's near east side, will speak about the club and her approach to food and cooking at the August 5th meeting of Culinary History Enthusiasts of Wisconsin (CHEW).
Debra Shapiro grew up wanting to be an artist, and majored in art history in college. This turned out to be the perfect background for years of restaurant work, where she found that cooking was her true art form, or at least people seemed to appreciate it a lot more! Deb calls herself a cook, rather than a chef - she did not attend culinary school, but learned her cooking skills at her mother's knee, and on the job in restaurants. School Woods Supper Club provides her with the opportunity to do what she loves best - cook for people. At School Woods, she specializes in well-prepared, home-cooked meals, utilizing
local and seasonal ingredients as much as possible.
