The Fourth Annual What’s Cooking? Tasting Tour, sponsored by The Women’s Guild of St. Mary Parish, is slated from Noon to 4 p.m. in six beautifully appointed homes with six local chefs stationed in each kitchen.

The interactive format of the fund raiser offers ticket holders a feast for the eyes as well as the palate as they view the first floor of each home and chat with participating chefs while sampling the tasty tidbits offered.

Homes in Deer Hollow, Canterbury on the Lakes, Westin Manor, Hines Hill and Middleton Roads will showcase the talents of chefs from Bistro on Main, Blue Canyon, Downtown 140, North End Market, Reserve Inn and Vue. Chefs will be on hand to answer questions, discuss wine selection, and offer suggestions for entertaining and meal preparation.

Tickets are $45 and will be available at The Learned Owl and Acme Fresh Market the first week in September. This is an advance-ticket-only event, and no tickets will be sold on the day of the tour.

Tickets will be limited to 400. Directions to each home will be printed on the tickets. Proceeds from “What’s Cooking?” enable The Women’s Guild to support local, national and international charities focusing on women and children in need as part of its Mission of Outreach.

The tour has raised almost $50,000 in its first three years.
