THE PACKAGE
The Trading Spaces package would offer couples an interactive and relaxing weekend away. Five Gables Inn & Spa would arrange four (4) weekends throughout the year to capitalize upon seasonal items/menus. The men will attend a 2-3 hour cooking class where they would be involved in some of the preparation for the evening dinner. While the men are cooking, the women will receive the “Ultimate” spa package at the inn. At around 6:00 p.m., the couples will return to Gourmet by the Bay for a seated and served dinner utilizing the items the men had prepared earlier in the day.

THE PROCESS
In order to make the best use of space and time, the men will go to Gourmet by the Bay on Saturday morning from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon for classes. Here, they have the space and equipment available to give the opportunity to observe and participate.

For safety reasons, we ask that participants wear comfortable closed-toed shoes and light-weight shirts. The kitchen(s) is not air conditioned and can often get hot. Gourmet by the Bay will provide aprons to use during the class.

Gourmet by the Bay will provide the ingredients necessary for each class depending upon the menu chosen for that weekend. Jim will be the primary instructor. Depending upon the curriculum for the day, one of the other chefs may assist him for a portion of the class.
