Little Tastes of the Dahlia: World Spice Tuesday March 30th, 5:30-7pm

We’ve talked the mysterious Amanda Bevill, owner of World Spice on Western Avenue, into joining us to tell all about what’s hot (pun intended!) in her world, tell us a little bit about the glamorous life of a world-traveling spice merchant, as well as caring for spices, freshness, and more.

Meanwhile, our beloved chef, Brock Johnson, will go wild with Amanda’s pick for up-and-coming spice of the moment. Cocktail and dessert pairings are in the works and this is sure to be a titillating foray into either a spice you may never have heard of, or one you thought you knew, until now.

Please join us. Space is limited and non-refundable tickets are $25. Contact Jessica Prince at 206-682-4142 or jessicap@tomdouglas.com for more information.
