Thank you for your interest in the Culinary Counselor's Interactive Cooking Class Parties. Having practiced law for many years, I decided it was time for me to pursue my real passion, the love of the culinary arts. By creating the interactive cooking class parties and gourmet dinner catering, I have satisfied the need to create culinary delights, while sharing this interest with you.

The Interactive Cooking Class Parties are fun filled events that take the mystique out of preparing your favorite dishes or one's that just look interesting to learn. The first step to your party is to choose from the recipes on the site. Then you decide how many you want to attend. The average size is ten to twelve-after all any more can turn into a real party, if you get my drift! We learn "how to", then we prepare, then we cook & bake the recipes and of course, then it's eating time.

Each party starts with my Estate Bottled Olive Oil tasting. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is tasted in snifters to accentuate the flavor of this one of a kind oil. We then apply some to Brochette's for our first appetizer of the night. After we are through, there are recipe cards for everyone to take with them. The host or hostess of the party then gets to present our unique selection of espresso cups, olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars, and other fine items that you can purchase. Each guest will also receives and automatic discount on items purchased, while the host or hostess receives points towards any purchases.
