MEET YOUR HOSTS:
EXECUTIVE CHEF + EVENT PLANNER EXTRAORDINAIRE
With three decades of professional cooking experience under my belt, I've had the privilege of working in Michelin-star restaurants, luxurious hotels, five-star resorts, and even behind the scenes in private kitchens.
Toni and I have been cooking, baking, and mixing drinks together long before we tied the knot. It's one thing we've cherished and continued to enjoy together, 19 years down the road!
In this FREE workshop, we're so excited to spill the beans on the dinners we've perfected over the years. We can't wait to share our secrets with you so that you can uncover these culinary treasures to make your holidays even more special!
Surely! There are so many ways to cater to restrictions and I can give you multiple ideas to make your dinner "inclusive". Working at hotels and restaurants all these years, I've come across all kinds of limitations whether they are spurred by allergies, social choices, religious beliefs, lifestyle changes or the latest health craze. We can tailor anything to fit your needs.
I have dietary restrictions, is this for me?
Toni and I welcome all home chefs at all levels. While we do have some seasoned cooks joining us to elevate their dinners, we have helped many beginners find joy in the kitchen and develop confidence in their own skills to cook for their family and friends. You'll meet them inside the group so come on over and be inspired!
i don't have cooking skills, is this too hard for me?
Yes, for sure! we are here to help you plan your epic dinner and if you've been in any of my classes or our courses before, you know that we love answering all your questions (in crazy detail) to help you. You'll be able to ask questions during the live training, get feedback inside the private group and we even have weekly Q&A that is dedicated to just answering all your questions.
are the classes live? can I ask questions?
The replays will be available right after every training. There are TWO WAYS TO WATCH 1) the replay, immediately available inside the private FB group OR 2) via direct link to the video recording -- so if you don't have a FB account, you'll receive an email with the link to the replay and you can watch at your own time to stay up to date.
what if i can't attend the live trainings?
100% F-R-E-E. The workshop training is packed with value so that you have all the tools you need to plan your own epic dinner, regardless of size, occasion or theme. You'll walk away with your own action plan to confidently host any type of dinner/lunch or brunch gathering.
is this really free? is there a catch?
The training is for 10 days (October 2-13) but there will be additional days (October 16-19) where we will still be live for Q&A to give you additional support, get you unstuck with your plans, a chance for 1:1 menu and dinner planning with Chef Raf, among other post-training events. We meet for about 1/2 hour each night (MWF 7pm ET/4 PT; TTh 8:30pm ET/5:30 PT).
when is this free workshop taking place?
don't worry, we have the answers!
