SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Today in our kitchen we welcomed Executive Chef Richard Teav and Manager Nora Gingerich from Boca.The two joined us to make a Duck Confit with Fried Rice and Chinese Vegetables and a Ornamentini, Boca’s classic holiday-inspired cocktail.Boca is making their holiday spread available this season for those who would prefer to focus on entertaining their guests vs. being stuck in the kitchen. Boca is offering two ways to celebrate the season - a holiday inspired catering menu for entertaining at home, or an experience for friends and family gatherings in their upstairs private dining room. bocarestaurants.com
