| - Each month a group of friends get together for dinner and an event. Tonight we met at Ferguson Bed and Bath to meet with Lisa Cornish, the principal chef for Chef@YourHome. After Ferguson had closed we stayed behind and Lisa and her assistant Amanda cooked up a four-course dinner at one of the showcase kitchens.
Lisa is very personable, chatted with us and shared her recipes, cooking tips, and asked some fun trivia throughout dinner as if she had been a part of our group for years. Each course was exceptional and recipes easy to follow, and like other reviewers, we were "oohing" and "aahing" with each bite. Our menu included a fresh summer salad with lemon zest dressing, penne pasta with freshly made pesto, tangy chicken Marsala with summer squash, and bananas foster for dessert.
Prices included everything we needed, from the dinnerware, food, and drinks (water and soft drinks only, though we had the option to bring our own adult beverages as well). After all was finished at the end of the two hour event, everyone in our group of 10 paid about $40 a person to cover the cost (gratuity not included). Not bad, considering a dinner and show would cost significantly more. We were also able to take home the leftovers!
Lisa is also available for hire for catering and party supplies through the main part of her business called CurrentEvents. She can be hired for home, cooking classes or dinner for two people or groups, and will even go shopping with you to help you stock up on kitchen food staples and help you become the best cook at home.
