The Virgin Islands Culinary Team is sharpening knives and polishing skills in anticipation of an award-winning showing at the Taste of the Caribbean Competition, sponsored by the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association. The competition is set for June 12-14 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Two fundraisers are scheduled in June to build the bank needed to support participation in the competition. The first is scheduled for 7 p.m., Wednesday, June 3, at Costa Java Cafe in Crown Bay. Guests will sample two appetizers masterfully prepared by each of the chefs and three imaginative libations by the bartender. The cost for the event is $45 per person. The second fundraiser will be held at 7 p.m., on Tuesday, June 9, at the Divi Carina Bay, St. Croix. At this event, the chefs will prepare a three-course dinner, complemented by specially prepared drinks. Tickets are $65 per person.
