I created this delicious menu just for this client's dinner party.  The guests enjoyed an
interactive dinner prepared in their own kitchen and served "restaurant" style in their
dinning room.  I like to call this "Chef's Table".  During the Chef's Table the guests can
interact with us and watch course by course as we create restaurant-style, plated food.  
Guests get mini presentations on how the food is prepared as well as food trivia and my
own personal experiences.  This is a one time special event that is only available  
through Canby Community Preschool Auction, to be held in March 2006.

You can learn how to create meals like this through The Art of Cooking Workshops or
Individual Culinary Lessons.  Invite your friends! You can also host The Art of Cooking
Workshop in your home!  Check out the Workshop and Classes pages to find out more
information.
