La Peetch at Savenor’s Market

Extraordinary Cambridge butcher, Savenor’s Market, has now added a one-of-a-kind dining element to its shop thanks to chef Sam Ferguson. Starting in February, Ferguson launched a new monthly dinner series inspired by “La Pitchoune,” Julia and Paul Child’s Provencal vacation cottage where the couple regularly entertained the likes of James Beard and M.F.K. Fisher. The series, called “La Peetch at Savenor’s,” is an intimate prix fixe dinner party for eight guests, centered around Savenor’s large butcher block and nearby stove. The four-course meal includes wine, hors d’oeuvres, a champagne toast, and a tasty gift to bring home at the end of the night.

$140 per person, March 30, 7-9 p.m., 92 Kirkland St., Cambridge; 617-576-6328 or eventbrite.com.
