A Field to Fork
interactive dinner party begins with a menu consultation, where the
host and Chef Ryan will adapt a proposed menu to the dietary and
culinary interests and restrictions of the diners. (The ideal number of
diners for a Field to Fork dinner party is 6-8, and a minimum of 4
people is needed.)
On the day of the dinner party itself, which takes place in the home of
the host, Chef Ryan will arrive with groceries, recipe handouts and
supplies. (It should be noted that, as much as possible, equipment in
the host’s kitchen will be used. The reason for this is simple: the
meals are intended to be reproduced easily in anyone’s kitchen with the
materials at hand. Long after the dinner party itself, in other words,
the guests will be able to prepare those same dishes on their own.)
Chef Ryan then coordinates the meal preparation, providing instruction
and demonstration. All guests will be busy at various tasks, will learn
a lot and will have a great time! Finally, the guests and Chef Ryan
will all sit down for the meal.
Although the focus of the meal itself is obviously on the enjoyment of
the dishes, periodically Chef Ryan will speak about the dishes and
invite conversation about the process and the product. While Chef Ryan
will certainly aid in the initial cleanup process and will do so during
the preparation itself, the bulk of post-dinner cleaning is left to the
host to do. All in all, a typical dinner party will last about four
hours from start to finish. The start time and location are obviously
flexible and dependent upon the wishes of the host.
