Learn to cook like Lillo; mark your calendars for Boca Festival Days
By Douglas Heizer
There never seems to be a dull moment here at the Boca Raton Tribune. Even in the slow and hot days of summer, we’ve been busy.
We have a major announcement to make involving Lillo Teodosi, owner (with his wife, Gina) of Caruso Ristorante on SE Mizner Boulevard.
Lillo will soon be writing a culinary column for the Tribune. If you’ve ever eaten at Caruso’s, you’ know the quality of the food and the great taste Lillo brings to his creations.
As they say on TV, but wait, there’s more. Lillo will be conducting cooking classes at the restaurant. Those who loved the food at Caruso’s will get a chance to learn from the master himself. Those who take the class will watch Lillo prepare a meal, then they will follow his lead and they can take their dish home to enjoy with the family.
Watch the Tribune for more information.

Signature Chefs event in the works
The 6th Annual Signature Chefs Auction will be held at the Boca Raton Resort & Club September 9 from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Again this year, the Boca Raton Tribune is media sponsor for the program that will benefit the March of Dimes.
Signature Chefs begins with a VIP reception for sponsors and chefs until 7:30 p.m. The ballroom doors then open for the signature event which will include exquisite wines and spirits, sumptuous samplings from Signature Chefs, and auction dining packages that will surpass your expectations.
March of Dimes will also present a 2011 March of Dimes Champions Award to honorees Rosemary and Ben Krieger to recognize their outstanding support of March of Dimes and their mission to give every baby a healthy start. The time, energy, and support they have given make a profound difference in the lives of many babies and their families.
By the way, Lillo is one of the Signature Chefs

Those great Boca Festival Days
In just a week or so, the Boca Festival Days sponsored annually by the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce will begin.
The month-long series of fun-filled events are held at different locations in the area during August. The Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce helps to facilitate these events that are created and run by a pairing of non-profit members with for-profit members to raise funds and awareness for the non-profit organizations during their specific Boca Festival Days event.
The goal? To raise awareness and funds for the non-profit member’s philanthropic efforts. All month long, residents of Boca Raton will travel from event to event, participating in everything that is great about this city – from the smaller events to the grand!
Watch for a full list of events in the next issue of the Boca Raton Tribune – which is also media sponsor of this activity.
