Julia had a beautifully curated meal planned for us, Italian themed called Italian Comfort Food. When we arrived, there was a delicious white bean dip with crackers and carrots. The dip was light and lemony and described as easy to make using a food processor. The group of 19 moved to an antipasto station where we created skewers with varying cheeses, meats, vegetables, peppers, and my favorite, the caper wrapped anchovy! Everyone took part in making the skewers and plating them, which is fun. Then each person chose a card that stated what station we would go to. My husband and I chose the meat lasagna. Other stations were a chicken lasagna, asparagus and arugula salad, garlic bread and homemade hazelnut ice cream. While at our meat lasagna station, we learned how to make the meat, a mixture of sausage and beef, the homemade lasagna noodles, the béchamel sauce. We layered the noodles, meat, cheese, ricotta and did it again. After 40 minutes, it came out oozing with deliciousness! I thought that nothing could taste better until I tried the chicken lasagna with white sauce. Omg! Incredible! I'm a "cook for survival" type of gal and I came out learning a few cool tips- like, to make the best garlic bread, wet the outside of the bread before putting it in the oven! The crust comes out with a bit of crackle but the inside is buttery, garlicky, soft! I don't see the process of making the ice cream, but I did get to enjoy it and boy did I! Chocolate, nutty, rich and creamy! My favorite dish of all though, was the asparagus salad- arugula and sliced almond with a wonderfully delicious dressing to top it off. It is easy, refreshing, light and could be a meal in itself. And as Julia said, "not every salad needs cheese," but if you must.... I would love some goat cheese on top. The best part of the evening, besides the 5* food, was the company! It was such a fun date night, the people in our group were so nice and friendly and Julia and James her assistant make it lighthearted and fun. I can't wait to return for another event. This made my week! @date_night_craves

Lynn Manheim is the cooking director here and she was a pleasure to work with. She responded very quickly and was very flexible in accommodating our needs. The party was a hit with around 30 guests. We were able to help cook our own dinners (with the guidance of 4 other chefs in the kitchen) and were given a mystery basket with various cooking ingredients. With the mystery baskets, we were split into 4 teams and had 30 minutes to come up with a dish using those ingredients. They also offer cooking classes, which I plan to try in the future. If you are looking for a unique party, I would highly recommend working with Lynn and Aux Delices.
