We are excited to share another Taste of the Town virtual event, Wednesdays with Chef Liam, a series of special ZOOM cooking classes. Each class is 60 minutes, Chef Liam will visit a local food provider, show you how to purchase uncommon ingredients and how to prepare something creative and delicious! Chef Liam will teach you a chefing trick or two as well.
For eight years, Taste of the Town has been the premiere culinary event in Wellfleet! Every June, Wellfleet Preservation Hall hosts a celebration highlighting the extraordinary restaurants and community that make the outer cape a dining mecca and a very special place to live or visit. While the traditional Taste of the Town has been postponed this year, we are excited to present a series of virtual culinary events. We are so grateful for their years of contributions and involvement from the restaurant community and it’s our turn to help them during this difficult time.
