THRILL YOUR GUESTS WITH AN EVENING WITH THE BALD VIVANT
Adventurous and hungry fans have hired The Bald Vivant to come into their home kitchens and prepare an evening of Tapas and Wine for 6-8 guests… I arrive with a few items Ive already prepared. Otherwise its like having your own intimate cooking show right in the comfort of your own home.I focus on Spain, because its where I grew up and learned to cook and I love educating people on old school traditional Spanish fare. Its a fun night (including a Flamenco soundtrack) where you and your guests roll up your shirtsleeves and learn some tips on how you too can be a fabulous host . All while tasting and sipping the deliciousness of Spain. So if it’s at your grill at poolside in Summer, by your fireplace in Fall, or for a festive Holiday gathering in December, after an evening with The Bald Vivant , you will have your friends drooling for more invites …We will prepare 6-8 Tapas dishes..Learn how to make delicious chorizo croquettes and stun your guests with specially selected Spanish Hams and Cheeses.

The Bald Vivant Rocks Hastings!!
So you hear on one day’s notice that your extended family from Europe and the West Coast, is landing at your house not your brother’s…what do you do?! Well, if you’re smart, you call the Bald Vivant! On almost no notice, you pulled together one of the best meals I’ve ever had, somehow managed to take the stress out of a family gathering (a minor miracle) and gave Arpine and I the opportunity to enjoy the day as much as everyone else did. We’re both huge fans and will definitely be doing this again. Thank you!!!

Last night my family treated me to a birthday celebration and The Bald Vivant hosted. It was INCREDIBLE! The food was outstanding, his knowledge of the food was extensive and his warm and festive personality made it a night I will never forget. I highly recommend him if you are looking for something different and FUN!
