The American Culinary Federation Palm Beach County Chefs Association held its 12th annual Culinary Creations dinner to a sold out crowd on June 13, 2011, at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. The spectacular culinary dinner, inspired by some of the region‟s most talented chefs, was in honor of Quantum Foundation as part of the Quantum House 10th Anniversary Celebration. Proceeds from the evening benefited Quantum House and The Palm Beach County Chefs in Distress Endowment Fund.

Culinary Creations celebrated the talents of some of the finest chefs in South Florida. This unique evening was unlike any other food & wine event in Palm Beach County. Guests entered into a champagne reception featuring delectable hors d „oeuvres. The “foodie” themed evening flowed into the silent auction. Guests bid on private chef dinners, wine tastings and other spectacular items.

The  dinner also featured four  courses served round-robin style. Guests had the opportunity to experience a dish from each of the 25 chefs such as Cobia Consommé, Caribbean Crab Timbale, Trio of Duck, Porcini Salt Crusted Beef Tenderloin and myriad of delicious desserts. Some of the participating clubs and restaurants included The Riverhouse, The Sailfish Club of Florida, The Breakers and Café L'Europe.

The diners left with a full stomach and a full heart because 100% of the proceeds from the dinner benefited deserving charities.

“Having all these award-winning chefs under one roof preparing such a gourmet feast to honor Quantum Foundation for our 10th Anniversary was spectacular,” stated Robi Jurney, Quantum House executive director.
