The Desha Show FUNraiser, on a lovely VT evening

As we get ready to release Episode 4 of The Desha Show featuring chef to the stars, Ayda Robana of Santa Barbara, CA. I wanted to share some beautiful images of The Desha Show FUNraiser, which Ayda catered. A very special thanks to photographer Dianna Healey also of Santa Barbara, who captured the romance and glimmer of the evening.  

It was a sold out event, with music by Red Heart the Ticker and Dianna's fiance Rey Villalobos, House of Wolves. Take a look and tell me your thoughts~

The menu included Harisa Lamb Meatballs, Tequila Lime Prawns, Thai Chicken Triangles, Sweet Potato Thai Triangles, a crostini duo, and cheese/ olive plate.

Red and white wine were served along with Ayda's signature cocktail, the Watermelon Mojito- absolutely delicious.

Sweet tables were set for guests as they arrived

It's good to give thanks. Each guest received a little gift to take home.
