In Your Home Class Details
01 Start with drinks!
Guests might be used to bringing over wine, but teaching them to make a killer cocktail starts the evening off on a playful note. Chef Steff sets out the mixers and ingredients on the counter, then let guests pour and shake away. “Cooking should be fun and very low-pressure. “So once people arrive, we make a cocktail and chill for a little bit — then get to work.”
02 Tag-Team the Tasks!
While it’s the host’s job to provide plenty of cutting boards and cooking tools, each guest can tackle a part of the menu, like rolling the asparagus in carpaccio. Chef Steff’s only rule: Eat while you work! “Nibbling is the greatest part of dinner,” I choose some dishes you can eat with your hands, or buy extras of finger-friendly ingredients like cheese and veggies to snack on during prep. Chef Steff will start on the main course, while the guests share some appetizers.
03 Switch up the party scene!
Eating the first course while standing around the kitchen is the kind of casual entertaining Chef Steff loves. Dinner itself is enjoyed while relaxing around the Table or an Island or Sofa Seating with Food Trays……
04 Eat Dessert Together Too!
Chances are that dinner will leave everyone stuffed (mission accomplished!), but preparing the final treat together is a built-in breather. Pour some coffee or shake up a new batch of cocktails while a simple Greek Yogurt Parfait with Housemade Granola and Fresh Fruit Honey Drizzle is made!
