Join the San José Public Library Foundation and Celebrity Bay Area chef Martin Yan, host of the hit show Yan Can Cook and author of more than thirty cookbooks, to fundraise for critical San José Public Library programs. During the ticketed event on September 21, Chef Yan will bring his award-winning recipes and entertaining cooking demonstrations to the San José City Hall Rotunda.
Guests will enjoy a delicious five-course meal featuring Chef Martin Yan’s award-winning menu, complete with wine pairings generously provided by Bouchaine Vineyards, while Chef Yan performs an entertaining cooking demonstration and shares the inspiration behind his cookbooks. There will also be a live auction as well as a performance by Chinese Lion Dancers outside of the City Hall Rotunda. Taking place during the Moon Festival and the Year of the Dragon, elements of the menu will pay tribute to each holiday’s cultural significance.
