Special Occasion Cooking Classes in Downtown Chicago

When?

The special occasion cooking classes in Downtown Chicago make jaded party-goers enjoy themselves again. Dinner parties and holiday festivities don't need to be a chore. Learning how to make one's own chicken divan makes potlucks something to get excited about rather than dread. With instruction from a chef, anniversaries can become intimate occasions, rather than obligations. The number of ways one can add contemporary touches to Thanksgiving dishes is surprising. These world-class chefs know how to liven things up.
