An Interactive Culinary Experience
Indulge in a culinary series that will make you a master of the kitchen at The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites. In our brand new series “Cooking on the Edge with Chef Andreas” you’ll learn how to compose and prepare beautiful three-course meals, whether entertaining for two or twenty-two, using local and regional market produce, Pacific fish, shellfish and prime beef. Cooking and entertaining at home has become more popular as more and more people are choosing to eat out less.
This series will show you how to become a celebrity in your own kitchen, and pick up a few chef secrets along the way, so you can wow your guests. Participants will be guided by Chef Andreas as they prepare the meal, and afterwards dine at the Chef’s table. The culinary classes include guided instruction in the kitchen, hands-on meal preparation and a seat at the Chef’s table. Each attendee receives a chef’s hat and apron to wear and keep, recipes for all courses prepared, and the wine review. Reserve your spot in our upcoming class now!
