About Black and White with a Splash of Red
“Black and White with a Splash of Red” is semiformal event hosted by The Culinary Institute of America’s senior class. On December 15, 2012 the class will be welcoming guests at 6 p.m. for a reception featuring passed canapés and specialty cocktails. The evening will progress with a seated dinner showcasing a four course menu with wine pairings designed and executed by the students.
The evening will also include an auction, the proceeds of which will benefit The American Red Cross and the CIA Side Towel scholarship fund. The CIA community has felt the effects of Hurricane Sandy as some students have unfortunately lost their homes and countless colleagues across the east coast had to close their business. The CIA senior class would like to do everything it can to give back and help restore the community from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.
