Private Culinary Programs -

the mcp program

– Our culinary events are 3 hours in length. We begin with complimentary Hors D’oeuvres and Wine while guests are arriving. Next, we cook for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Finally, you and your guests sit down to a three course meal - created by you, plated by our chefs, and served by our staff. We handle all arrangements from A-Z – so there is no need for you to deal with event specifics once you arrive. Beyond being a one stop activity spot, we pride ourselves on the fact that our Cooking Parties truly bring people together in a unique way; slicing, dicing and sautéing to the Gypsy Kings often leads to an impromptu dance party.

battle of the bites

™ - In the spirit of the Top Chef and Iron Chef phenomenon – MCP offers an outlet for competitive party-goers looking to shine. In this style program, guests are divided into teams. Each team will have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of ingredients. Under the guidance of our chefs, groups must work to invent & execute an Hors D'oeuvre that beats the competition. Participants will be judged based on creativity, taste, hors d'oeuvre design and the number of items they were able to execute in the timeframe allotted. All participants enjoy the fruit of their labor as well as the hors d’oeuvres created by the alternate teams. MCP works with the event organizer to establish a system of judging, and the winning team enjoys bragging rights (and silly paper chef hats!). Once the cooking portion of the event is complete, guests still sit down to a three course meal, catered and served by our professional staff. The battle of the bites is the best choice for groups containing participants who may not be interested in cooking an extensive meal from start to finish. (16 guest minimum or surcharge for additional chef)

the mingle and munch

– If you are seeking an event where the bride can focus on chatting with guests rather than cooking, the mingle and munch is the perfect solution. At this event, MCP will create a cocktail-party atmosphere where guests could visit various stations and learn about food and wine pairings. the mingle and munch could be designed to allow for some hands-on cooking of light appetizers and finger foods, and is available with or without a sit-down dinner. (30 guest minimum)
