Whether you like to spend time with dear friends or get to know new acquaintances better, dinner parties are a fabulous way to live well. We’ll plan a meal around your favorite dishes while you sit back, relax and enjoy time with your guests. Or, in the spirit of education and fun, you and your friends can have a blast learning how to prepare a specific meal of your choice by customizing your own cooking class party.
dinner party:
Dinner parties come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you are interested in a formal, plated dinner or a backyard barbecue, I will masterfully execute your catering needs. Twenty years experience has provided me with a big picture understanding of catering, a strong knowledge of food and execution needs, and the necessary sense of urgency to meet scheduled timelines while producing exquisite results.
Our initial meeting will cover:
* event date/time/length
* number of guests
* theme or occasion
* survey of party location
* type of catering (plated, buffet,
passed hors d’œuvre, etc.)
* general food preferences
* event coordinator/décor
* beverages/alcohol
* rentals
* service
After the first meeting, I will develop a menu plan to submit for your approval; once it is finalized, a fee schedule will be arranged and contract drawn up.
cooking class party:
Cooking class parties are a great way to entertain when you want your guests to get a little more involved while having a lot of fun. When company arrives, the students can enjoy hors d’oeuvres that I will have prepared in advance to accompany wine or cocktails. I will then introduce myself, the meal choice and its background, and how instruction will proceed. This type of party is meant to be just as entertaining as it is educational.
Our initial meeting will cover:
* event date/time/length
* number of guests
* theme or occasion
* survey of party location
* general food preferences
* culinary skill level of guests
* level of interaction desired
* rentals
I will leave you with a guest survey that will provide me with the necessary information to design menu and instruction. After collecting and assessing the survey results, I will develop a menu plan to submit for your approval; once it is finalized, a fee schedule will be arranged and contract drawn up.
