THINGS TO KNOW:
-
You don't need to be a good cook and/or even participate...all observers and I will be the judges.
-
This is not a serious competition...but a friendly relaxed event in a Beautiful environment...where you come to bond with your cooking team and cook your heart out in a fun way!
-
The participants will only make one plate of each desired dish they choose to make...

Yes, this will be a lot like the cooking shows on the Food Network channel, only more fun and a lot less stress!! :)

Let's Begin!
Will start with Sean's hor d'oeuvres reception (Dolmeh) around 5:30pm.
So come prepared to take on my kitchen with your talent or
palate if your coming to judge!...
Then around 6:00 pm Sean will create four equally and balanced group, including savvy and not so savvy cooks in each groups.
Teams will start cooking around 6:30 pm, after each team has been presented with their mystery baskets along with an introduction to the kitchen surroundings, including separate baking & food pantries and elements.

Each team will have a around 2 hours to create as many as tapas dishes they like by using "every" single item in the basket...so let your imagination go wild and get creative.

Although Sean will supply each cook with their own apron... culinary attire is recommended and may earn that extra needed point!

Although Sean will have the basic cooking essentials for each group...Each person is more than welcome to bring any extra tools they think may be of use for that day. (Again get creative and bring your favorite tools or pans you often use to cook or bake and enjoy having in your kitchen. Don't be shy. Bring whatever you want to cook with and share them with your team to have an edge!)

We should be done by 10:00 pm...but as usual with my food events this will most likely go on till midnight...:)
Since the fire pit and large marshmallow's on huge wooden sticks after dessert was a big hit at my last event, from now on I will make it available at all my events!:)
