THINKING OF A CULINARY CAREER?

Happy New Year

SUPPORT LOCAL | GET DINNER TO GO!

Feel like a gourmet chef at home, without the cooking!

We can’t serve you in our Dining Room right now, but you can still support the School and enjoy fabulous four course Student Chef Designed Dinners at home, with our Dinners TO GO. Menus are different every night, and reflect the passions, interests and backgrounds of our Level 2 Student Chefs.
All you need to do is book online for easy pick up, lay the table and enjoy a fine dining experience at home. Sommelier-selected wine pairings are available to add to your Take Out order for $20 per person.
