American Dining Workshop
Join us for a crash course in American dining manners.
Have you ever wondered which fork to use?
. . . how to set the table for a formal dinner, a brunch or a picnic?
. . . how to eat bread without getting crumbs everywhere?
. . . how about corn on the cob, artichokes and caviar?
We will review all the table manners basics and prepare you for the fanciest affairs. Plus details on sending and receiving invitations and writing proper thank you notes.
Included in the workshop is a five-course meal where you can practice what you have learned.
For ages 12 and up.
