Food & Wine Experiences

Try Something New

Great for:

Bachelorette Parties • Family Gatherings • Dinner with Friends

Get in the kitchen, and stay a while. 

There’s a reason why they say that the kitchen and the table are the heart of the home. It’s where the most laughter is shared and the most memories are made. It’s where we reunite after being apart from a long day, or a fun day. 

You don’t have to be a professional to have a great time.

Explore the possibilities of sharing an experience with your squad, favorite couples, family, significant other, or kids.

As Julia Childs says, “The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking, you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.”

So, what memories will you create today?

Sydney Eliason Cooking The Somm Chef Experiences

Interactive & Custom Dinners

Interested in learning how to make fresh pasta from scratch? 

Or maybe you’re not wanting to get your hands dirty, and would rather have a custom menu and a Chef in the kitchen to answer all of your cooking questions. 

Perhaps food isn’t a necessity, and you’d prefer a customized wine tasting.

Maybe you’re hoping for a beautiful 4-5 course meal for 8 people, and wine pairings to go with it? 

For any of the above scenarios, I’ve got you covered. 

I’m happy to have guests in the kitchen and entertain them for you, or I can be invisible and simply prepare and serve the dinner.
