Typically, up to three courses are served, making it a full meal cooked in front of your group. Enjoy the courses as they are prepared, with the chef discussing the recipes and techniques. This experience includes a three-course meal with beverages and a cooking demonstration. Note-taking is encouraged, and we can accommodate dietary restrictions such as vegetarian or gluten-free options for individual groups.
