What’s Cookin’

 Believe it or not, the
holidays are coming!
Labor Day is just around the
corner and you can probably identify every heirloom tomato variety from
10 feet away by now! Perhaps you’ve even sufficiently scratched the
summer barbeque itch. No one is ready to give up sweet summer corn and
peach-berry crisps just yet, but in the SF Bay Area especially, nothing
says the holidays are coming like a gorgeous Indian Summer. Believe it
or not, our stove is starting to fill up with holiday parties so don’t
miss the remaining days of our Summer
Sale! Book your
hands-on cooking
party by Labor Day for any time this year and receive a whopping
10% off your event, not to mention special offers for cooking classes
and gifts.
At Parties That Cook, we’ve already started crafting
our scrumptious fall and holiday menus and can’t wait to unveil them in
a few weeks. We start by looking at what’s fresh and seasonal, then
throw in some authentic international flair, all while keeping our pulse
on the hottest food trends. Our recipes
are filled with interesting ingredients and fun tips and techniques
guests can easily master and reproduce at home. After a hot day of
recipe testing (and tweaking) with our professional chefs this week, we
want to share a sneak preview of couple favorite fall and holiday recipes below.
Even if you’re not in the market for a holiday party or corporate team building event, try your hand at this fabulous
fare at any one of our hands-on cooking classes this fall. In addition to Gourmet Dating for singles and Date Night classes for couples,
Parties That Cook has teamed up with the Cheese School of San Francisco
to offer a unique and exciting evening of Cooking for Cheese Lovers. Also, stay tuned for
details on our upcoming Julie &
Julia cooking class in September where guests will master the art
of French cooking together!
Parties That Cook is hiring! If
you are a professional chef, server or dishwasher, or know any
charismatic and talented individuals who’d like to join our growing
team, email cover letters and resumes to hr@partiesthatcook.com.
