T
he Margaritaville Beach Hotel and Frank & Lola’s Cafe proudly hosted the Live
Cooking Demo and Book Signing with the renowned Chef Carlo Sernaglia. Guests
were invited to attend a special, one on one live demonstration of Chef Carlo cooking
up his famous crab and quinoa cakes with curry kale slaw. Local Margaritaville
Chef, Eric Troup worked side by side Chef Carlo on the demonstration and helped inform
guests of the relaxed recipe, which gives home chefs an opportunity to enjoy and treat
themselves to a fresh taste of paradise. This live cooking demo took place in the Margaritaville
Beach Hotel lobby, followed by a book signing of Margaritaville: The Cookbook shortly after.
The Margaritaville Hotel has cherished Chef Carlo as their concept chef for the brand and
this was his fi rst visit to the Pensacola location. Margaritaville: The Cookbook was co-authored
by Julia Terschon, with Chef Carlo being the main contributor for the easy to make, fresh,
elevated recipes; all made with fresh ingredients. Each recipe was constructed with the “Home
Cook” in mind, taking care to bring all the elements of a fi ne dining restaurant to a home kitchen
table without the hassle of a reservation, going out, or an unnecessary amount of ingredients to
assemble.
