Chef Robert's Culinary Performance Education:

A fun, enjoyable, entertaining and compelling evening of culinary instruction in your home.

Invite Chef Robert into your home for an evening of culinary instruction for you and up to twenty guests. Rather than having another typical sit-down dinner party, why not plan a unique event where you and your party will laugh and enjoy themselves while learning how to prepare a variety of dishes and sample the results throughout the evening. It’s always a memorable night working with Chef Robert, where the kitchen is his stage.

Your event begins with an on-site or telephone planning meeting, where you and Chef Robert discuss the location, guest list and most importantly the menu and accompaniments. Chef Robert will prepare and present to you a written menu and evening plan. On the day of your special event Chef Robert begins by shopping for the best and freshest ingredients, arriving at your house early that day to begin preparations so that everyone can be engaged with culinary technique and forgo the busy-work. Any guests (or hosts) that wish to be more involved in the process can arrive early and join Chef Robert in the kitchen to discover some of the magic “behind the curtain.”

You and your guests will begin the evening with cocktails or champagne and “nibblies” to set the mood for the evening. Each guest will receive a specially printed menu, recipes and Culinary Technique Cards, if requested to use throughout the evening and to take home for their future dining experiences.

And then the show begins! Chef Robert will review the menu, plan and techniques for the evening with you and your guests and begin the experience. Everyone is encouraged to test their hand and sample the developing delights, and may be as involved or removed from process as they wish. Relax and socialize, sip wine and watch the show, or grab your apron and immerse yourself (not literally, hopefully). All culinary methods employed in the evening will be explained and demonstrated in complete detail. Chef Robert works with your kitchen, but brings with him a full complement of professional tools to use when necessary. Best of all – the menu will be planned to have dishes completed throughout the evening to keep everyone satiated and smiling.

This is surely a unique, memorable and entertaining evening for everyone. You learn useful professional cheffing skills, how to prepare a delightful menu of dishes from the evening all while enjoying an excellent meal in the company of your friends in your own home.
