Dinner preparation begins at 1:00 PM.

Global Chefs participants prepare a dinner that is served to the chefs and the first 45 people who sign up to attend. The dinner is FREE. In the past we have prepared cuisines from 14 different countries with the help of chefs across 16 different languages.

Participants and volunteer are happy and smiling after preparing a tableful of delicious foodParents: It’s okay for the chefs to bring in their kids – as long as the children are closely monitored around tools and heating appliances.
