 November is here and it's the season of food, family, and friends! Our three favorite things.
With our favorite food holiday just a few weeks away, we can think of no better reason to take a cooking class and be inspired with menus designed to entertain family and friends for a meal around the dining table or a casual gathering in the kitchen.
We have sourced some of the best products for our gift boxes this year and we've packaged them with your family, friends, and co-workers in mind. Take advantage of our early bird discount by ordering online with our special discount code below.
If the thought of entertaining stresses you out, give us a call. Our team of in-home chefs with Maison will ease your anxiety and take the worry out of your event to ensure you have a stress-free party.
Keep your eyes on our Facebook page and your emails - we will have information about Black Friday and Small Business Saturday savings you won't want to miss. |
