Experience Overview
There’s a lot you can learn from a cookbook or TV show, but there are certainly limitations to both those mediums. What if you have a question about how to flambé without burning down your kitchen? Sure, you could try yelling out questions to the TV or emailing the author of the cookbook, but neither are likely to yield positive results for you or your kitchen. That’s what makes our Michelle Bernstein Digital Dining Experience so special. Not only will you be able to soak up some wisdom from an internationally-recognized and James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef, but you’ll be able to make comments and ask questions during an exclusive interactive culinary demonstration hosted by Michelle.
So what do we mean by a Michelle Bernstein interactive cooking experience? Are you simply going to watch a video of her showcasing her Latin cooking skills? Nope…instead you’ll receive a unique password protected link to login to a live event where Michelle will guide you through a culinary demonstration using technology that allows you to immerse yourself in the presentation, including live comments and questions and answers. There’s even the option to add a business component to start the event, and you’ll receive a personally signed cookbook to remember the experience (pending availability).
As you’ve probably seen with some other virtual meetings and events, it’s not quite as easy as just pushing a button to make it all work. That’s where the experience and expertise of Zinc Agency comes in, and we pledge to handle all the details so that you can enjoy a VIP digital experience with chef Michelle Bernstein. You’ve seen her on Food Network, The Today Show and the Martha Stewart Show to name just a few, and now you can see her from the comfort your own home with our exclusive Michelle Bernstein virtual cooking experience.
