The Alternative Dinner Party
Get a group of friends together and we will all cook dinner together and then enjoy the fruits of our labor. This is a great way to learn new dishes and techniques at the same time as preparing a meal with friends and then sitting down to enjoy it together. Price will depend on number of people and food prepared, but will be approximately $120 per person.
*All main courses served with appropriate side vegetable and starch dishes.
