And now, we’re teaching you some of the tips and tricks that have made your events, whether for 20 people or 20,000 people, so memorable. We start with the fundamentals of creating a delicious menu with easy to follow recipes that can be adapted for any season and a wide variety of tastes. You’ll learn what you can prepare in advance so that you can enjoy your guests’ company; and we’ll show you the pro tips that transform food into art. After all, we eat with our eyes first!

In our second video, Chef Georgette Farkas, Great Performances’ Culinary Ambassador, takes your pasta salad to a whole new level. We know that the thought of pasta salads can evoke memories of gummy, flavorless bowls of pasta with bits of vegetables seasoned with mayonnaise. Chef Georgette is here to change your mind! She’ll review pasta shapes that  work best for pasta salads and will introduce you to some incredible flavor combinations.
