Cooking/Chef Party Ideas

Get your hand on as many different TV sets that you can and place them around your party/facility/event. On each of the sets, play a different DVD of cooking demonstrations. The great part about this is that you don't even need to have the volume on (in fact, especially for adult parties where the guests will probably more enjoy their conversations more than the videos…)!

This is a great game that can passively last throughout the entire party. Print out several pictures of different food (see the Decorations section for resource ideas on obtaining images.) On each of the sheets of paper, write a different number or name bold enough to see easily. Place them throughout the party area, however, do not place all of them in easily found locations. Some of them can be in plain view (so that everyone can find a few) but most hide a bit out of site. Provide for each of your guests to have a copy of a list of all the images to find. Next to each of the image names, they are to write the number/name provided on each image sheet. The goal is to be the first to fill in all the answers by either knowing them outright, finding the poster or combinations thereof. You can also instruct them that all completed sheets can be turned in to you by a certain time, then a raffle can be held among all that are turned in for a prize. A third variation would be to offer a raffle ticket for each correct answer (the more they answer, the better chance they'll have to win a prize at the raffle.)

For fun great looking table centerpieces, visit your local library and check out some colorful cookbooks and arrange them with the books standing up, half open so that their pages can be quasi-seen.

Organize a cookie swap (everyone brings a few dozen of their favorite cookie)

Organize a recipe swap (a variety of different topics to choose from) - maybe offer them a template in the back
