Tiles and Tastes - Crab Fest
Mill Valley Golf Clubhouse
February 18 | 6–9 PM
The "Tiles and Tastes" is open to the community — a welcoming space for those who love the joy of cooking and the camaraderie of playing Chinese Mahjong.
​
We are proud to partner with the Mill Valley Recreation Center, with gatherings hosted in the beautiful Mill Valley Golf Clubhouse, where we meet monthly to share a delicious meal, celebrate community, and, of course, enjoy a few lively rounds at the Mahjong table.
​
Each gathering is led by a volunteer “Honors Chef”, who selects a cuisine and organizes a small team of five Culinary Group volunteers to plan the menu and prepare the meal. Guests contribute by bringing an appetizer that complements the chosen theme. Together, we create a family-style feast, share recipes, and then gather for Mahjong — because nothing pairs better with food than the clack of tiles!
Menus highlight seasonal ingredients, cultural traditions, and holiday celebrations. It’s a participatory cooking experience — a chance to practice your skills, learn from others, and discover new flavors while connecting over the timeless game of Mahjong.
“Tiles & Tastes” blends the joy of cooking with the connection of Mahjong. It’s a space where community thrives, stories are shared, and bonds are built — one dish and one hand at a time.
