Description

Enjoy a PRIVATE seven course meal for 10 at Half Hill Farm in Malvern (private residence of Chef Paul Marshall), each course paired with wine! Prepared by International Chef Paul Marshall, featuring food grown or produced on their farm, or purchased from local growers.

From his childhood on the bayou in rural Louisiana, the land of cayenne pepper, roux, seafood gumbo, beignets, and Andouille Sausage, Paul always showed a passion for cooking.  During seven years under the watchful eye of Fernando Oca he learned classical French technique.  Marshall returned to his New Orleans roots to work under Emeril Lagasse at Commander's Palace.  There he further developed his passion for 'the new' New Orleans cuisine, a melting pot of French, Spanish and American flavors.

Chef Marshall also was the Chef de Cuisine of Oscars at The French Brasserie in The Waldorf Astoria.  Since then, he moved to Malvern, PA with wife Julie and pieced back an old dairy farm dating back to 1744.  He has perfected the art of growing and preparing seasonal, local foods, culminating in a Farm to Table dining experience, but one of his favorite seasonal dishes is still Grandma's Stuffed Roast Pork, a classic holiday favorite.

Chef Marshall is opening up his home for this private dinner for you and nine other friends, family, or business associates.  Don't miss this delightful opportunity!
