Wouldn’t it be fun if you invited a bunch of your girlfriends over to eat some great food and hang out for a few hours? Oh, but then you have to plan what to serve and spend time making that great food. You could make it potluck but maybe you want to do something different. What if you could have a chef come to your house and show you how to make some amazing food? That sounds like a party!
Here are some ideas for themes – appetizers, tapas, mezethes, soups, desserts, 4-course meals of ethnic cuisine like Thai, Mexican, Spanish, etc.
Once you decide on a theme, your chef should come up with recipes that can be done by your group in the time allotted and taste great. You can either eat as you go or complete all the recipes and sit down for a feast at the end. No matter what, you should have fun and learn something new about cooking. Maybe you’ll even learn something new about one of your friends.
I love the flavors of Asian food. Each area of Asia has a different cuisine but they compliment each other so that it wouldn’t be odd to put together a meal with a Thai dish, a Chinese dish, and an Americanized-Asian dish. Doesn’t this sound fun to make: Thai Shrimp Bisque, Ginger Flank Steak with Sake-Glazed Vegetables, Egg-Fried Rice, and Ginger Ice Cream with Orange-Chocolate Sauce.
So maybe you don’t feel like cooking at all but still want to have your friends over at your house. Why not have a chef come cook your meal? Enjoy your guests without worrying about the food. It’s more fun than going to a restaurant because you can stay as long as you like and play the music as loud as you like. You can also have the menu customized to your preferences.
