GastroTour: Team Cooking for Small Groups
This activity started in December 2007 with an Indian dinner for 10 people, cooked, served and eaten with enthusiasm by a group of experienced amateurs. Next up in spring 2009: Caribbean, and Japanese. Due to the nature of this activity, places are limited. So, email us; first come, first served.
