Ask any chef it’s not just the food that makes a dinner party — but the entire experience from shopping the Farmers' Market selecting fresh, local ingredients, to pairing wine with each course to lighting to music to home décor — that leaves a lasting impression.

My award-winning Dinner Party "toolkits" provide fun, creative hands-on learning experiences that turn your kitchen into a classroom. Each Kit shares my secrets for stress free dinner party planning and teaches how to prepare delicious gourmet menus, select and serve the best wines and set a simple yet elegant dinner table.

No need to call mom, consult a recipe book or attend culinary school.

Simply flip the lid and learn!
