Private Cooking Class Parties
_______________________________________
Cooking events bring people together.
Entertain your guests with a cooking class party in your home, or
in the home of Chef Karen Gros
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 are available, too.
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 & Fine-Dining Class.

Hands-on & Fine-Dining Class
What to Expect:
Together we will cook, present and
dine on an appetizer, entrée, and dessert…
Your apron awaits you!
Class size limited to 12. Recipes provided.
Everyone is presented with an apron and dishtowel to use during the class. Together, we prepare the meal from start to finish, present & serve the food by course. You will then savor the creations during a sit-down luncheon complete with a glass of wine. The wine is chosen to specifically complement the meal. The meal concludes in the French style with a cup of coffee and dark chocolate served after dessert. Everyone then pitches in for a quick clean-up.
Duration is 4 ½ hours, 10:00am – 2:30pm
Please note: Whichever menu you select, the appetizer, entrée, and dessert will be the same for all participants. Click here to see a list of sample menus, or choose a menu from past classes by visiting archives. If you prefer, Chef Karen can customize a menu especially for you.
