Just a quick note to say that we had a wonderful time at Bespoke this past weekend. My friends surprised me with a cooking party for my bachelorette party and it was a wonderful surprise. The chefs and staff were great. I will never forget how much fun we all had, thank you.

– Erin H., Chicago

 

We loved the experience, the venue and the food – thank you! Calvin took good care of us and each chef was fabulous. Thank you for such a unique venue and delicious dinner. It was truly a highlight of our entire day of team building!

- Jane E., The CARA Group, Inc.

 

This was a terrific event across-the-board, and we definitely plan to do it again. Kudos to you and your staff on the flawless execution of a very imaginative concept.

– James R., Kirkland & Ellis

 

The bachelorette cooking party was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I would not have changed a thing. All of our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say – they’re still talking about it. Please pass along our sincere thanks to everyone for making our night so enjoyable.

- Laura C., Winnetka

 

It was an absolute blast. Everyone here was stoked. Thanks again to you and your crew for a job well done!

- Frank V., Orbit Media


Thank you for a DELIGHTFUL event last night. The talk this morning among the staff has been nothing but how much fun everyone had, how great the food was, and how wonderful your staff was. In fact, the folks who couldn't make it have been moping around the office this morning after seeing the recipes and hearing the stories. Your staff gave us just the right amount of instruction and "hands on help" so that everyone left last night feeling a little bit more like an accomplished chef. Thank you again for a truly wonderful event and evening. 

- Suzanne G., U.S. Foodservice, Inc.

 

I attended a recent Mix it Up with 3 girlfriends. It was absolutely wonderful - the space, the cheese platter, the label for our BYOB wine, our name tags – allowing us to walk around and easily meet the other 30 guests, the chefs and the cooking stations and instructions! Kudos to you! The food choices were excellent and delicious. All 4 of us said we are coming back. Thank you again!

- Candy B., Highland Park

 

We had a fabulous time at the Mix it Up. I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking and the meeting new friends.  Thanks for a great experience.

- Joan R., Chicago

 

COOKING PARTIES

Cooking is an Art. We Make It a Party. 

A unique culinary combination of a hands-on cooking experience and a pampered dinner party, Bespoke Cuisine's Cooking Parties are a big hit with epicureans and beginners alike.

Chefs from the Bespoke team lead groups through preparing a multi-course meal. After the lesson, participants retreat to the loft-like dining room and enjoy being served the meal they created.

All through the lesson and meal, the team imparts tips, facts, and guidance about the food, methods and preparations used. It's a fantastic opportunity to ask the experts and to learn the tricks of the trade.

Coooking parties are held at Bespoke Cuisine's location on Restaurant Row where clients have the opportunity to learn in a working commercial kitchen and then retire to the gracious dining room to enjoy the meal they prepared. In warm weather, our doors open onto Randolph Street for a wonderful city dining experience.
