Founder and CEO of Parties That Cook, Chef Bibby Gignilliat will provide a lively cooking demonstration featuring unique culinary tips such as the fastest way to chop an onion – without a tear!
You’ll then break into groups where you'll learn to prepare a delicious menu of international small plates in a festive atmosphere, listening to upbeat music and sipping wine. Finally, you’ll relax and mingle while you enjoy the tantalizing meal you’ve created!
