When my mother cooked, she always used plenty of what are still some of my favorite basic ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, garlic and pasta. As I always say, everything Italian starts with garlic gently sautéing in extra virgin olive oil. You can almost smell it now, as the process transforms simple ingredients into exquisite food, lovingly prepared. This wonderful “interactive” experience is right for you if: • You love to entertain family and friends by serving them a home-cooked meal. • You need a special and fun experience to entertain business associates and clients. • You love to eat well but don’t have time to cook. • You don’t enjoy spending your free time shopping and cooking. • You want to eat at home, but want the same quality you enjoy at your favorite Italian restaurants. • You want to have wonderful cooking aromas and end up with a clean kitchen. • You just want to celebrate a special occasion (or even a not so special one). All food is prepared fresh in your home, using your own cooking utensils and tableware. If you don’t have the materials to make this all happen, we can arrange for rental. Let’s make it pretty....great presentation makes it all even better! I add personal touches to make your table setting visually beautiful to compliment your Italian dinner. PRICING: Includes consultation, meal planning, preparation, shopping, cooking, and clean up. The price of groceries is included in your total cost, so there are no unexpected charges. The price of meals will increase for those who prefer specialty items, as opposed to those who prefer a simpler meal of pasta infused with veggies. Meals are created with you and your guests in mind and are priced accordingly. A simple Italian peasant dinner can be as satisfying as a gourmet feast. Fees are reasonable and based on number of dinner guests, menu and specific/special ingredients and/or requests. I offer a 10% discount to all first time customers! Wine and liquor are not supplied, but it’s always nice to ask your guests to bring their favorite Italian wine to share. Payment: I accept cash or checks made payable to Michael's Cucina.
