On the Plate: Upcoming Food and Wine Events

February 11: Raw Desserts at Organic Academics
Somehow raw desserts makes us think, "here, just have a piece of fruit," but Chef Matthew Kenney and his team will show us how to make decadent and healthy creations like cheesecake, chocolate pudding, macadamia cookies and many more. 1-4 pm at The Plant (25 Jay Street in Dumbo, Brooklyn), $65. Call 718-722-7541 or email organicacademics@theplantindumbo.com for reservations.

February 13: Bogart at Paradou
Paradou kicks off their Movie Mondays series, and Feburary brings us the best of Bogie. February 13: The Maltese Falcon; February 20: The Big Sleep; February 27: Key Largo. Have dinner and a movie at the same time -- save the $10 you would have spent on a movie ticket and
