Chef Alexis Sicklick, author of A Taste of the Nutcracker: This Cookbook is for Dancing, will be making an appearance to talk about the inspirations for her book and also to do a cooking demonstration. Samples will be provided for guests in attendance, and copies of Alexis’ cookbook will be available to purchase for $20 (cash, check, Venmo).

Bio: Chef Alexis Sicklick is the founder and chef of Syncopated, where she offers you the chance to dine to the ‘beet’ of her culinary rhythm through playful, vegetable-forward pop-up dinners. For her, cooking is all about being present in the moment, listening to the ingredients themselves as well as what her mind desires; she uses basic rules and techniques to guide her but allows her imagination to take her dishes in a truly personal, unexpected direction. Recipes are the starting point – while they provide great inspiration and structure, she never follows them strictly, letting the food lead the way to the end result.

And yes, she will be bringing samples of her cuisine!
