Sips, Savors, and Zucchinis 

Montecito’s eight-year-old Apples to Zucchini Cooking School hosted a Sip and Savor donor appreciation sunset soirée for 45 guests at the home of board president Dianne Duva and her husband Robert.

The organization, founded by Nancy Martz in 2015, brings people together by teaching children, teens, and adults how to prepare delicious, nutritious and affordable meals using seasonal fare.

Apples to Zucchini Cooking School has 17 culinary teachers, who run 16 different 90-minute classes at ten campus locations around town.

Creative canapés cooked by students were dotted around the estate and beverages were supplied by Draughtsmen Aleworks and Tilden zero proof Cocktails.

Among the guests were Jim and Chana Jackson, Michael Bergquist, Lindsay Johnson, Emily Nordee-Rogers, Kirk and CeCe Borchardt, Jonathan Bishop, and Scott Reed.
