Looking for something else to do on your night out with friends instead of the same-old movie and clubbing nights? Cooking With Friends is all about having fun while cooking, wining and dining with your friends, both old and new. We promise you a good time of fun at your very own tailor-made hands on class, regardless of your experience in the kitchen. As all the necessary ingredients will be bought and prepared for you, all you need to do is to roll up your sleeves and get ready for a fabulous meal!

Planning a dinner party for at least eight friends but want something that’s more engaging while not compromising the quality of the dinner? We have just the evening planned for you!

“Host a Murder Dinner Party” sees at least eight participants solve a murder mystery over a four-course dinner. During each course, each character will reveal some information about them based on the character booklet provided, whether defending themselves by deflecting questions asked by other characters, or spicing up the game by pointing fingers to accuse other characters. At the end of the dinner, everyone guesses who the murderer is. While no acting is required, role playing is a must! There are two games that you can choose from:

The Class of '54

It is 1959 in a small town in the USA. The local high school class of 1954 has scheduled its 5th year reunion to coincide with the return of Rockford "Rock" N. Roley, the student who became a famous rock 'n roll star. Excitement is running high until the recollection of a high school prank leads to the discovery of murder! You'll be "most likely to succeed" at unraveling the mystery if you'll do a little homework into the history of the fascinating members of the class of '54.

Grapes of Frath

As an invited guest of Archibald Frath and a passenger aboard the Gilded Vessel, you will be interested to know some of the details of the yacht and the cruise you will be making aboard her. The Gilded Vessel is 142 feet in length, modern and luxuriously appointed throughout. She has eight guest staterooms, four to port and four to starboard, and M. Frath's stateroom aft. The Grand Salon and canopied On Deck Lounge are the center of social activities on board. The yacht carries a crew of 22 under the command of Captain Meirre, a master seaman whose exploits in the Mediterranean are legendary. Equally legendary is the ship's fare, concocted by a galley staff of 7 overseen by Master Chef, Francois Pigout. Guests will meet the yacht in Monte Carlo on June 7, 1925, and should plan to board between 9:30am and 12:00noon. Luncheon will be served in the On Deck Lounge at 12:30pm and the yacht will depart at 2:00pm for a short cruise to the first night's anchorage, a small island situated 6 nautical miles south of Cape D'Antibes.

Making a good impression is important, and it is especially important when you’re at a dinner table. Using the wrong utensils for the wrong course or dish at a business dinner would be a grave mistake. You would not want to lose that important deal just because you licked a knife! So if you are looking for a dinner party that will have you leave with more than a full stomach, then sign up for our Dining and Social Etiquette class. Together with six friends, this fun, innovative and hands-on workshop will equip you with the best table manners applicable for any social setting, whether formal or informal.

With our class, you will never have to wonder which utensils or wine glasses to use or start with, how to excuse yourself halfway through dinner gracefully, how to place your utensils after each course. Bid farewell to the old you, who always waited to see what others did at the table before you followed suit! We also encourage you to ask as many questions you may have when going through the class, especially those that you have never dared to ask, or had no one to ask!

Join us as we recreate the food served or inspired by movies. They may not always be movies about food, but food is always an essential character of a great story, both in life and on the big screen. Tell us your favourite movie or choose from some of our favourite selections including Julie & Julia, Under the Tuscan Sun, Waitress and The Godfather.
