Cooking Class + Party = FUN!

Wouldn’t it be nice to grab a great meal out of the freezer after a long day of work and shuffling kids to and fro?

Ask them to join you for a glass of wine or punch while Terri, The Food Fairy, instructs and then assists you and your guests in cooking multiple meals in a short period of time. Magically, everyone goes home with some meals ready for their freezer and a copy of the DVD!

An innovative way to entertain, learn & dine at the same time! Invite 4-6 of your most or least adventuresome friends over for an evening of toasting, tasting and trying your hands at cooking your very own fantasy feast! We teach and then you eat! Recipes, Aprons & Totes are included in some packages.

The Food Fairy’s Cook Once-Eat For Weeks DVD is a cook-a-long wherein you follow along with me on the DVD and we cook together for 90 minutes and create 8 servings of 3 different meals. These can be eaten right away or stored in the fridge or freezer for later use.

Option #1- The party theme, derived from the DVD, is where a small group of friends, no more than 5, plus the host/hostess, are joined by me, Terri, The Food Fairy, in the kitchen of the host/hostess. Rather than following along with the DVD, I am there to direct, inform, laugh, give out and tie aprons, support, light the oven, congratulate at the end of the party. The event lasts 2-3 hours.

Everyone shares the fruits of their labor! Having brought their own containers, the food is divided among the participants and everyone goes home with good memories, smiles, new found knowledge and a COOK ONCE – EAT FOR WEEKS DVD plus a couple of servings of each of the 3 meals they prepared meals. The value of the DVD, wings and apron alone are valued at $50 per person.

There are several menu plans to choose from so the meals are desirable and appropriate for the group. They may be meat based, vegetarian or vegan as well as gluten, nut or soy-free. Additional specialty diets may be requested in which case an additional fee would be added on for creating a more personalized menu.

The cost for this party is $497. The groceries are purchased by the host/hostess and usually run around $100-$150, depending on the menu and where they shop. The food cost may be shared with the guests as might all costs, but that is up to the host/hostess.

Option #2 – I have on occasion been asked to “fly-in” at a COOK ONCE – EAT FOR WEEKS DVD in house party where the host/hostess and up to 5 guests are actually following along with the DVD. That includes a 2 hr appearance by Terri and the cost is $297. The groceries for this party run around $130, also handled by the host/hostess. Wings and a DVD are also gifted to each guest by The Food Fairy.
