The La Mesa Library is proud to announce that the second annual “Food for Thought” festival, taking place at the library on Saturday, March 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will feature nationally- and locally-renowned chefs and brewmasters. You\u2019ll be able to hear firsthand experiences from the culinary industry, nibble a sample or two, purchase some cookbooks from the Friends of the Library book sale, and grab a photo with TV personality chef Claudia Sandoval. All events are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

At 1 p.m., Sandoval, 2015’s winner of Fox Network\u2019s \u201cMasterChef\u201d challenge, will discuss her favorite recipes and cooking techniques, as well as the cookbook she is releasing in May 2016. Fans of the show will enjoy a photo opportunity with Sandoval after her talk. Since the conclusion of \u201cMasterChef\u201d season six, Sandoval has developed a successful private dining business, appeared on local television, and written her upcoming cookbook, \u201cClaudia\u2019s Cocina: A Taste of Mexico.\u201d She was born and raised in San Diego, and now lives with her 10-year-old daughter in La Mesa.<\/p>\n
