We're preparing a festive buffet at HOBA
For the feasts...Yes, HOBA is inviting you to get hands-on with a cooking and tasting masterclass led by Chef Lila, the founder of Palais Fin Traiteur. The idea? To learn how to create a 100% veggie end-of-year buffet! The workshop starts off gently with a warm drink and some homemade crackers on the house, before diving into the kitchen filled with tips, techniques, and little pro secrets. On the menu: truffle and aged Comté croque, pumpkin and chestnut crumble with seeds, spinach and feta arancini, forest bao buns with crispy soy and onions, and a cake jar with pistachio cream and mascarpone for dessert. All of this will be tasted at the end of the workshop!
