Being a celebrity chef is not a bad
life indeed. While many chefs will be golfing and soaking up the sun in
South Beach later this month, others
are at Beaver Creek in Colorado this week. The
Beaver
Creek Culinary Classic runs from February 1-5, 2006 and features Eric Ripert, Ming Tsai, Laurent Tourondel and many
others. Special events include the Celebrity Chef Ski Race on February 3, pastry competitions including the Cake Relay
and the Sugar Showdown which will be filmed by the Food Network, a 'Master Chef Challenge' and the Grand Tasting at the
Park Hyatt Resort and Spa on Saturday February 4. Tickets to
the Grand Tasting cost $95.
