The third annual Tour of Kitchens held last month was a wonderful opportunity to taste great foods from local restaurants, see lovely homes, purchase gifts and crafts, and was followed by an afternoon of desserts, music and book reviews at the Museum...all the while supporting the Coral Gables Community Foundation and the culinary arts program at C.G. Senior High.
