 Chef Robert Barral, owner of Café Provence and former New England Culinary Institute executive chef and the Deerfield Valley’s award-winning Jr Iron Chefs will also do a demonstration on Saturday morning. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Junior Iron Chef program.  The Deerfield Valley Food Pantry will also be on-hand accepting food donations. 

 Also new this year, the Taste is teaming up with the Deerfield Valley Health Care Volunteers as they revive the popular “Art on the Mountain” with a 3-day art show at Mount Snow. Taste attendees will enjoy complimentary admission to the show.
