The Organic Center to Host Benefit Dinner (Yum!)
Since it’s Thanksgiving Day, the thought of another big dinner might make your stuffed belly groan a little. Fortunately, this dinner is a few weeks away, so surely you’ll have digested your turkey by then. Plus, it’s a dinner worth planning for, because it’s hosted by The Organic Center in Los Angeles.
On December 9th, the Center’s For Our Children fundraiser will feature an organic gourmet dinner by Chef Domenica Catelli, one of the judges on Iron Chef who is also famous for her ability to get kids to eat their vegetables, without hiding them. Dessert by Chef Akasha Richmond, owner of the Culver City restaurant Akasha, follows. In addition to her restaurant, which is dedicated to sustainable, local and organic ingredients, Akasha is the author of Hollywood Dish and the spokesperson for SILK soymilk.

A portion of the proceeds from the $125 ticket goes to Healthy Child, Healthy World. The event will be held at the Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City beginning at 6:30 p.m.
If you haven’t heard of The Organic Center, its mission is not only admirable, it’s necessary. Focused on developing the research that provides empirical evidence of the benefits of organic food, their work is needed to achieve a shift in consumer behavior towards buying organic. Hopefully, at least some of the grub rumbling around in your stomach fits that bill.
