Topics: Celebrity Chef, Cooking Demos, Food Tasting, Motivational Boost your culinary skills with a demonstration from Mel Gibson’s own private chef! For the past 11 years, Richard Florczak has been the full time exclusive chef to Mel Gibson and family, and now he’s offering on-site cooking demonstrations that show how to transform ho-hum dishes into movie star fare. And while Richard previously worked exclusively for top stars Tom Cruise, Leonard DiCaprio and Jennifer Garner, he faces the same challenges in the kitchen as anyone who cooks for family and friends. “I’m in the trenches like you,” he says. “I come up with a menu, shop for food, do my own prep, cook and serve – without sous-chefs or assistants. It may be for one of the biggest box office stars in world, but he’s got kids, too – and sometimes they’re late for dinner!” Florczak’s demonstrations work equally well in private homes or corporate settings – and you don’t need the latest appliances. Whether you’re hosting a corporate event or fund-raiser, or a gathering of colleagues or friends, he’ll customize his presentation to your group’s needs as he demonstrates starters, appetizers, main courses and desserts. His savvy tips take the stress out of shopping, the guess-work out of which brand to choose, and show how to select top quality meat and produce. Cooking for kids? Mel Gibson has a bunch, and you’ll learn how to turn an after-school snack into an upscale first course, and how to get kids to eat. Florczak believes that anyone can learn to whip up the same tasty dishes he serves to the stars. “I’m not here to show you what I can do; I’m here to show you what you can do,” he says. You’ll leave his lively demonstration with do-able recipes that make meal prep fun and creative. Is there tasting? Of course! And stories, too, from Florczak’s rich Hollywood experience. And when you learn his secrets, your friends and family will rave about your cooking too! Richard Florczak, has been preparing menus for Hollywood’s biggest names for more than fifteen years, and he’s the author of the award winning cookbook, The Private Chef – his favorite personal recipes, with a foreword by Jennifer Garner. He has been featured on The Home Shopping Network and Extra and appeared on the USA Network series Fantasy Jobs. For the past 11 years, Florczak has been the full-time, exclusive chef for actor-director, Mel Gibson, and his extensive repertoire includes mastered recipes in all cuisine types. A pioneer in the new private chef industry, his vast experience allows him to present delicious meals in any setting – from a romantic dinner for two aboard a private jet to a lavish party for 700+ guests. Prior to his successful career as an exclusive private chef, Florczak honed his skills at the prestigious Hotel Bel-Air and worked for several top L.A. caterers. He received his training from The UCLA Chef Program, The Culinary Institute of America at Napa, The Omni Hong Kong Hotel, The New School of Cooking, and The California Sushi Academy.
