Wonderful egg dishes, pancakes, smoked fish, side dishes, salads, coffee cakes and desserts – all easily prepared ahead so that you can be a guest at your own party. In addition to an entire menu plan and recipes, you will enjoy a complete tasting menu as an entire brunch buffet is created before your eyes.

April 22, 2010: 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. The Art of the Summer Dinner Party It is truly an art to create a perfect evening where wine, food, flowers and music all come together beautifully and with ease. And in the summer – food that is vibrant, refreshing, light – yet having subtle layers of flavor and texture will be the inspiration for a beautiful menu for warm weather entertaining. As you learn about and discover an entire menu plan with recipes, you will enjoy sample cocktails and an extensive 'tasting’ dinner that will be served throughout the evening. Using local farm-raised ingredients, herbs and flowers from Mr. Kramer’s own gardens and the very best of summer’s bounty, the essence of the season will be brought to the table. ’From hors d’oeuvres to dessert you will learn the secrets that a professional caterer uses to create an occasion that your guests will remember for a very long time.
