YOUR UFOODIE COOKING PARTY DESIGN 

uFoodie classes and parties have a max of 8 people and can be delivered in the uFoodie kitchen or at your home (not kosher). 

If you have booked a private uFoodie party (as opposed to joining a scheduled class), you and your guests can choose the format and recipes you would prefer, to best suit you.  Participants work in pairs throughout cooking up the recipes chosen. Pairs can swap over between recipes. 

THE FORMAT OPTIONS

• ​FORMAT A -  6-8 recipes with each pair working on 2 recipes only. The benefit of this format is variety as more dishes are showcased. Participants will get the all the recipes and taste all the dishes so they can recreate at home, but wont be hands on with all. The benefit of this format is the variety and most people can follow my recipes themselves at home, especially having seen and tasted the dish – photo taking is fine too. This format is good for the Ottolenghi style buffet platter vibe!

• FORMAT B -  3 recipes with each pair doing all the recipes. The benefit here is that each pair works on every dish in smaller portions. The drawback may be lack of variety but it gives everyone the chance to be hands on with every dish in the time available! This approach is good for a starter/main/dessert style and good for beginners, or if you just want a selection of recipes but want everyone to be hands on making each recipe. 

GUIDE TO SELECTING RECIPES

1. If your group chooses FORMAT A – please choose up to 8 dishes (for 8 people) or 6 dishes (for 6 people) from anywhere on the list,  but only 3 meat/chicken/fish dishes. Please note that we may not do all 8 dishes (depends on complexity/time/final numbers) but will definitely do 6 dishes minimum. 
2. If your group chooses FORMAT B, then please select 3 dishes only,  you can make up a 3 course menu (starter, main and dessert) or any combination you want randomly or by cuisine theme.
3. You can leave  the recipe choice to me, just advise if you want:

• classic recipes (basic recipes, the types everyone should have in their repertoire) 
• A specific theme e.g. Mid Eastern, Italian, Asian etc
• A mixed theme - a bit of whatever focusing on the end diner e.g. cooking for the family, entertaining friends, Friday nights etc

Note: Once I have your choices, I may add in a suitable extra dip or accompanying side dish if I think we can do it in the time
