Trainees and Alumni from HopeWorks got an incredible training experience today with Chef Mike Lim from 16Eleven in preparation for Housing Hope's upcoming Summer Dinner fundraiser. Today, during the first of a few sessions, instruction began on how to artistically craft one of the event's menu signature options; a Smoked & Silk Tart featuring smoked salmon, eel, sweet soy, yuzu creme fraiche, fried capers, and dill.

We got to sample the dish today and everyone in attendance at the Summer Dinner is in for a real treat! Thank you to Chef Mike for joining us and providing such a unique experience for our trainees.
