Private Cooking Class Parties
_______________________________________
Cooking events bring people together.
Learn to cook with your friends!
Cooking Class Parties are a delicious way to celebrate birthdays, bridal showers, and holiday parties ~ or any time you have a special occasion to celebrate with friends. Gift certificates for a private cooking class party are available, also.
You and your friends will enjoy an intimate time of gourmet food and fun. French Culinary Instructor Karen Gros will share her passion for high-quality food, and provide you with culinary techniques and tips, as well as copies of the recipes.
Cuisine Karen can bring culinary classes to your own home for a private class with your friends, family, or colleagues. Or you may prefer to have the class at the home of Chef Karen in Eureka Springs. You and Karen will select which dishes to feature. But first, you must choose between the Culinary Demonstration Class or the Hands-on Culinary Class.
