Item Description

Forget the restaurant, bring the chef into your very own kitchen! Michael Leviton, chef and owner of Lumiere restaurant in west Newton, will run a cooking class/dinner for six (6 total, including host) at the bid winner's home. The evening will include 3 courses of delicious cuisine. The experience can be as hands on as the host would like in terms of participation in cooking each course, however it is sure to be a night to remember.

Chef Leviton was co-owner of Area Four in Cambridge and A4 Pizza in Somerville. As quoted in the Boston Globe, the restaurateur began cooking in the late ’80s, when he went to work for Joyce Goldstein at Square One in San Francisco, then with Daniel Boulud at Le Cirque in New York, and at Le Bernardin with chefs Gilbert Le Coze and Eric Ripert, and pastry chef Francois Payard. “It was a magical time,” says Leviton.

He has been a teaching chef in Boston University’s Certificate Program in the Culinary Arts at Metropolitan College for 15 years, since Julia Child, who started the program with Jacques Pepin, asked him to; and he sits on the Seafood Watch Blue Ribbon Task Force at Monterey Bay Aquarium, in which chefs from around the country promote lesser-known or plentiful seafood to keep the oceans healthy."

 

*The host provides alcohol/beverages and all the pots/pans/dishes/glasses.

** Dinner cannot be redeemed until after March 1, 2016.

Item Special Note
