Mach, was held at lunchtime Tuesday on the  Bookmarks Café patio. Joined by School of Hospitality students and recruiting library personnel as "kitchen" staff, the assistant professor of hospitality management/culinary arts served up an autumn bounty of ingredients (amply seasoned with his signature blend of know-how, wit and showmanship).  Attendees not only enjoyed "Chef Paul's Home Chowder" on the premises,  but were given a copy of the recipe for when another "soup day" is in the forecast.
