Republic and azcentral.com critic Dominic Armato wants to bring those chefs and that audience together. \nThe Daring Dining dinner series gives talented chefs the opportunity to showcase the dishes they’ve always wanted to share with the public, but couldn’t due to practical reasons. \nFriday, April 1: Taylor-ed French \nMatthew Taylor, chef of Gertrude’s at the Desert Botanical Garden \nTaylor will offer a four-course tasting menu of French fare with hints of his native Canada and whispers of his Indian heritage, including dishes like venison and foie gras terrine with Saskatoon berry mustard, and saffron braised monkfish with smoked eggplant and tomato kasundi. \nWhat to Expect: \nArmato will host the dinner on the patio. \nArmato and Taylor will participate in a Q&A about the dishes, their provenance and what makes them so distinct. \nTickets include four courses, tax and tip. Alcoholic beverages are additional. \nNo need to come early. Your ticket serves as your reservation. Food service will start at 7 p.m. \nCan't Make It? \nTaylor’s special menu will be in place until April 30. \nStop by Gertrude’s at any point during the month and try some of the dishes. \nIn June, Armato will work with the wildly creative Asian fare of chef Bob Tam, from Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour, with more events to come later in the year. \n Become a subscriber: All Arizona Republic and azcentral subscribers receive $10 off the ticket price.
