Special Events:

Company party? Shower?  Birthday picnic? Whatever your event might be, the Brown bag can help you put on a great event. I provide servers to set-up, maintain and clean-up or I can simply deliver your menu to your party location, whichever you prefer. And if you're looking for a custom menu, we have endless ideas to make sure event is one guests will be talking about for months to come.

Event prices are based on an hourly rate, plus groceries, with a $300 minimum. Servers and additional kitchen help are extra. Call for pricing.

Cooking Demonstrations:

"In" is the New "Out"

A refreshing alternative to a “girls’ night out” is a “girls’ night in”. With spiraling gas prices and universal belt tightening, why not enjoy the comforts of each other’s homes, each one unique and full of undiscovered pleasures for friends and visitors.

I Don’t Have to Cook?

What if none of the girls, including the hostess, had to cook or bring a dish? There’d be more time to relax, dish the dirt and enjoy each other’s company. So who’s going to provide the meal? the Brown Bag!

Dining in With a Demo

Just leave the shopping and the food preparation to me. I’ll collude with the hostess, plan the menu, bring the food and prepare a sumptuous meal while you sip a refreshing cocktail and enjoy the deom. It’s a collaborative process where everyone gets to participate and share ideas, ingredients, tips and techniques.

Once dinner’s on the table, I’ll leave you to enjoy your freshly prepared cuisine and each other’s company.
