Cooking Parties

For 6 to 8 participants

Cooking parties are informal dinner parties held in the kitchen of the host or hostess in which the guests participate in the preparation and the cooking of their dinner under the guidance of their personal Chef for the Night.  Grocery costs are included but the students pay a combined mileage fee for service beyond 25 miles of Ramsey, NJ.  By the way, your Chef does all the shopping and arrives with the groceries for your cooking class party.

Students get preliminary instructions via a short lecture and demonstration and class commences with mise en place.  Student teams then proceed into the hands-on cooking with their Chef's direction as needed.  After class the group plates and serves their own dinner party with final questions and answers from their Chef.  Students receive printed recipes or recipe files for each course prepared.

To host your own cooking party, gather 6 to 8 friends that love good food and like to cook.   Then simply send your menu choice with the date and time you'd like to book to the  Mailbox  link and follow-up with a phone call to your Chef.  Select from one of the menu themes listed below :
