Photo Essay: Meals on Wheels Star Chefs and Vintners Gala 2018 (part 2)

The second of two photo essays for the San Francisco Meals on Wheels Star Chefs and Vintners Gala fundraiser of 2018.

As always, it’s the chefs behind the food that are the real heroes at an event like the San Francisco Meals on Wheels Star Chefs and Vintners’ Gala event. Getting a chance to peak behind the curtain and see the hard work that goes into the gorgeous and delicious food is always a treat. Almost as much as eating the food itself! With more than 900 guests and 100 San Francisco Bay Area chefs working hard, the food they created was astounding considering they create a kitchen out of nowhere. This year featured a four-course meal, including a plated dessert which they have never done in previous events. Of course, there was a great live auction, as well as even more nibbly desserts afterwards. If you missed it, check out my previous photo essay that showcased appetizer bites from the reception part of the event.

Special thanks to Meals on Wheels San Francisco for providing tickets to the Star Chefs and Vintners’ Gala. I was not monetarily compensated for this post and all opinions are my own.

"Mr. Lin, a graphic designer in San Francisco who writes the food blog Eat the Love, takes risks in nearly every one of the 150 elaborate recipes in his book. He doesn’t just paint the lily; he bejewels and shellacs it, too."
–MELISSA CLARK for the New York Times

“My goodness, this cookbook! It’s filled to the brim with recipes for the most splendidly beautiful cakes, cookies, breads, and tarts I think I’ve ever seen. My eyes kept getting wider and wider as I turned every page—both the flavor combinations and the photos are out of this world. Irvin Lin has most definitely outdone himself. This book is a triumph!”
—REE DRUMMOND, New York Times best-selling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks

“Irvin Lin gives home-baked treats a twist, ramping them up with a range of contemporary flavors that are sure to surprise and delight. From beer-battered brownies to smoky butterscotch taking a classic cake to the next level, I can’t wait to mix, stir, and bake my way through Marbled, Swirled, and Layered!”
—DAVID LEBOVITZ, author of My Paris Kitchen
