I am preparing for a very fun SURPRISE event this weekend at In the Kitchen…..a private dinner for 8 guests!

I host private dinners and cooking classes at In the Kitchen, some of you have attend these events, though some of you may not even know that I offer this service. I thought I would post about these events today.

This is a really fun opportunity to gather some of your besties together and have a scrumptious meal cooked for you in the comfort of someone else’s home (not really a home, but it feels like it). You get to relax, enjoy your friends and lounge at the table while dinner is brought to you in courses. Here is a sample menu of what we offer for private dinners:

To begin:
Seasonal Appetizers

Salad:
Panzanella Salad with heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, shaved celery, olives and herbs

First course:
Summer squash saute with cumin and black mustard seeds

Entree:
Wild rice salad with dried cranberries, feta cheese, shaved fennel and herbs

Slow roasted chicken and 2 veg entrees……surprise ok

Dessert:
Peach crumble with fresh whipped cream

You bring the wine or drink of your choice, we provide the rest.

“An intimate and elegant table for up to 12 guests is set with one of a kind place settings, linens and an eclectic mix of silverware, glassware, candlelight and seasonal flower arrangements. There is an organic beauty to both the service and cooking with our guests seated within direct view of our open kitchen. You will have the opportunity to watch and learn as your meal is cooked and plated before your eyes.

Each dinner is individually crafted, letting the bounty of the season shine. The chefs are happy to create special menus based on guest’s dietary preferences or reason for gathering; birthday, anniversary, graduation etc.”
