If you love to cook or just enjoy gathering ideas on how to help your kitchen work for you, don’t miss the inaugural Kitchens That Cook on Saturday, May 23. Hosted by the Habersham Medical Center Foundation, Inc., Kitchens That Cook is a tour that will showcase five beautiful, feature local chefs and much more.

The five kitchens are in the Tower Mountain area near downtown Cornelia and represent a variety of styles. If the view from Sandy Borrow’s patio doesn’t take your breath away, her beautifully renovated kitchen once featured in Southern Living sure will. Just as impressive as his mom’s, you’ll enjoy touring the spacious kitchen of John Borrow’s craftsmen style home and enjoy demonstrations and tips from Northeast Georgian columnist Lois Chitwood.

Take a peek at the tastefully remodeled kitchen hiding behind the walls of Ken & Janie Morris’ 100-year-old farm house. Featuring stainless steel appliances and a natural gas burning stove, this kitchen is rich in its eclectic collection of art and pottery. Outfitted with sleek, stainless steel appliances, silestone countertops and tile floors, the custom alder wood cabinets in Wes & Kerri Dodd’s elegant kitchen pay respect to the style of 1940s home. Just across the street you can’t miss the opportunity to see Susan Campbell in action in the beautiful kitchen of her colonial style home.

The tour takes place from 1 to 4 p.m., and the Cornelia City Depot will serve as the event headquarters. Ticket holders will check-in to receive a badge, map and event cookbook. In addition, Kathy Nicholson of Southern Hospitality will be demonstrating alongside local physician Dr. Joshua Garrett inside the Depot at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. The segments will air on an upcoming episode of Nicholson’s syndicated television show. Patrons can also enjoy light refreshments and purchase tickets for multiple prize raffles at the Depot.

The event benefits the HMC Foundation, Inc. and all proceeds will go toward the purchase of a new c-arm x-ray image intensifier for use in the operating room. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 the day of the event. Tickets are available at WCON, the Chamber of Commerce, the HMC Gift Shop and at Carr & Gibbs Law Firm. For more information, call April Reed at (706) 754-3113 ext. 1106. We’ll see you in the kitchen on May 23.
