Social – Gumbo for a Good Cause

Posted on by

Remember the Cupcake Class a few weeks ago?  We had a lot of fun and I’m still training for the Oakland Half Marathon.  Now we’re planning a pop-up fundraiser for the Ella Baker Center.  My friend Lydia Walker of The Bay Leaf Restaurant won a Gumbo Throwdown a couple years ago and let’s just say she deserved it. Her gumbo is flavorful and oh so satisfying. The restaurant closed last summer, but you can still find her at First Fridays and other events while she’s looking for a new space.  In fact, Lydia is making a big pot of gumbo this weekend and the good people at Commonwealth Cafe & Pub have agreed to let her take over the kitchen for a day.  She’ll also have Lemon Ice Box Pie, which is silky, crunchy and completely addicting.  Hope you can join us!
