Palestine chef Simon Webster will give a culinary demonstration during the Taste of Jacksonville event Friday.
“I will be demonstrating how to use fresh tomatoes, onions and eggplants all in one dish with the Aubergine Cake,” Webster told the Herald-Press Monday. “It’s going to be quite a good event. Another chef will be there presenting a culinary demonstration as well.”
