It's like having the Food Network in your home. Literally.

Maybe it's the economy, maybe its due to the increased popularity of cooking shows, or maybe we've all just slowed down a bit...but lately we've been doing more and more cooking demos in client's homes. We staff one of our private chefs for your party, they prepare all of the food, demo a few of the recipes, and take care of all the clean up. Sounds pretty relaxing, huh? You get to entertain in the comfort of your home, but without all the hassle and stress.

Here's a menu we've created for a client in Valencia, for her "Supper Party" this Sunday. Chef Rachel will be demo-ing a few of the recipes, and then everyone will sit down to enjoy the decadent meal. Manuela, from Ventura Limoncello, will be there as well - mixing custom cocktails for guests.
