GOURMET GROUP SIGN UP
It’s a wonderful way to meet new couples and try new cuisines. Don't let
dietary restrictions or other concerns stop you from joining and there's no need
to be a whiz in the kitchen, our groups focus on having fun!
New foods and new friends – what could be better?
Here’s how it works:
Gourmet Groups meet throughout the Fall and Winter. Each couple takes a turn
hosting or selecting the restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night (your group sets
the dates).
Sign up and we will pair you with 3 to 4 other couples to form your gourmet
group.
When you sign up, please indicate whether you would be interested in
experimenting with new menus, techniques and ingredients in the home, out at
restaurants or both; that way
we can group you appropriately.
Each couple takes a turn hosting or selecting the restaurant on a Friday or
Saturday night
(your group sets the dates).
Be sure to document your favorite dishes with photos and reviews we can post in
the newsletter.
In the Spring, all gourmet groups will celebrate together with a big Gourmet
Dinner Party.
The cost per couple is $15 for the year and is used towards the Spring Gourmet
Dinner
