9 Family Connection and Florida Hospital invite you to roll up your sleeves and cook your way to a Healthy 100! Gourmet Soiree is an interactive dinner experience demonstrating how exciting healthy cooking can be.  This engaging event focuses on the overall health and well-being of our community through Florida Hospital’s Healthy 100 movement in a fast-paced and comical cooking experience.

This unique event will take place on Sunday, May 19, 2013, at Rosen Shingle Creek and will feature a reception, live and silent auctions, and a fabulous meal prepared by local chefs and the guests at each table.

Guests will don aprons and under the tutelage of renowned celebrity chef Robert Irvine, prepare superb, healthy cuisine at their very own table.  Sponsorships include tables of eight, each hosted by a local celebrity chef who will help guide the guests in preparing a healthy, delicious three-course meal. Come prepared to cook in dressy-casual attire.  Generosity shared at Gourmet Soiree will help to support all vital programs at Florida Hospital, with a focus on Florida Hospital for Children’s Healthy 100 Kids.
