Affair: The New York Culinary Experience

When: Saturday, April 11- Sunday, April 12, 2015

Hot Spot: International Culinary Center, NYC

Deets: Hosted by New York magazine and the International Culinary Center, the New York Culinary Experience offers you the chance to cook side-by-side with some of the world's most renowned chefs.

You'll take part in intimate, interactive cooking classes with acclaimed chefs, restaurateurs and industry insiders, with past chefs including David Bouley, Jacques Pépin, Jean Georges Vongerichten, and more.

Taking place in the International Culinary Center’s state of the art kitchens, you'll prepare—then enjoy—dishes under the direction of these culinary giants, participate in Q&A sessions with industry leaders, and at the close of each day, attend a private reception for NYCE students and chefs. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, and you are welcome to bring home the dishes you create during the day.

If you don't have a lot of experience in the kitchen, don't worry. All you need is a desire to learn from and interact with the best in the business. You'll also have the opportunity to support The Future Chefs Scholarship Fund, created to enable aspiring chefs to attend a culinary institute.

Who You May Spot: World's renowned chefs.
