Julia Child Cookoff: Part Trois- Cassoulet

The Walla Walla Downtown Foundation is celebrating all things Julia Child  and all things delicious with a cooking contest. This years featured dish is cassoulet – a slow cooked bean dish originating from the south of France, made with white beans, various forms of pork and usually some duck confit thrown in for good measure. The event is being held on Sunday, February 19 from 2-4pm at the Marcus Whitman Hotel and Conference Center in Walla Walla. Chef Antonio will be creating a cassoulet for all guests of the event.  Tickets to attend are $15. per person and can be purchased at The Visitors Center at 26 E Main Street. For those who would like to be a contestant in the cooking contest should contact the Downtown Foundation office at 509-529-8755. Proceeds from the event will benefit Salvation Army’s Food Bank Capital Project.
