Get a Taste of Taste & Technique – The perfect corporate event for large groups!

No Pressure! Taste & TechnqueThey came. They cooked. They left with a much clearer idea of what Parties That Cook does. What am I referring to? Each year, Parties That Cook offers complimentary events for potential clients. We essentially stage a full-blown hands-on cooking party just for event planners interested in our event services.

This season, we opted to provide our guests with a taste of “Taste & Technique”. Over 100 guests arrived to experience our newest event type specifically designed for large corporate groups. And we were ready…

And now, on to the Cooking Stations…

Pizza Station
The evening’s menu included a variety of savory small plates. At each station, guests were encourage to help make spring rolls (with new-found knife skills), fill, form, and fry dumplings, grill pizza, and roll sushi. For dessert, guests made and enjoyed sweet crepes filled with dulce de leche. Yum!
