You said no to an engagement party. (One bash is enough.)
You're against black tie. (Comfortable clothes = dance dance revolution.)
And bridal parties? You can make it down the aisle on your own.
You've never been conventional. So why plan a by-the-book groom's dinner, when you can have an Iron Chef-style cookoff?
Parties That Cook, a delicious innovation in planned events, does all the organizing. You just need to show up, strap on an apron, and cook the pants off the other side.
Each team is given recipe ideas and a pantry full of fresh, inspiring ingredients (wild salmon fillets, organic acorn squash and faro, for example). Then you have an hour to whip it all up into something worthy of your pre-wedding eve.
Professional chefs offer cooking tips and do the judging. And if you crack under the pressure? Coconut Brioche Bread Pudding with Caramel Rum Sauce may just take the sting out of second place.
Of course, it doesn't have to be the night before your wedding to enjoy a little saucy competition. Call in the prof-chefs for any party or gathering at
