Cooking with Chef Michael Hutchings in Santa Barbara featuring catering news, wedding catering, dinner parties, recipes and news about The Inn Crowd cooking show
Recognition for Fundraising Chef Michael Hutchings
The Inn Crowd, hosted by Craig Case and Chef Michael Hutchings, is delighted to share an episode at the gala event "Fun with the Force." The event was organized by The Santa Barbara Police Foundation. The foundation is a support group for the local police force. Many of our Inn Crowd veterans were at the event including Police Chief Luhnow, Joyce Farr, Arlene Montesano, Ursula Nesbitt. This is our third year at this event and we are delighted to mention that the special auction-dinner we have donated each year has raised over $150,000 to date for the foundation. On that count, I was delighted and surprised to receive a special recognition for our efforts.
I decided to prepare mini desserts for the evenings offering. More properly called petits fours, we made about 3,000 delicious sweets.The menu included cheesecake, earthquake bites, Linzer torts, mixed nut bars, coconut macarons and raspberry tarts. We prepared some 3,000 pastries for the 600 plus guests and went home empty!
The Foundation supports the Santa Barbara Police Department by raising community awareness and providing needed funds for three primary purposes:
To provide information, resources, and financial support for deceased, injured, disabled or catastrophically ill police officers, or employees, of the Santa Barbara Police Department and their families.
To purchase and donate equipment requested by the officers of the Santa Barbara Police Department to support law enforcement efforts.
To provide financial assistance and access to counseling services for the men and women of the Santa Barbara Police Department, and other first responders of the Tri-County area, as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.
