I'm friends with a friend of Martha Stewart. Somehow I manage to get invited to her workshop, which is basically like Santa's workshop. It's a renovated warehouse, with dozens of separate cooking and baking areas, each with fully stocked "shopping" sections that have every supply and food item you might ever need. To top it all off, the entire place has been decorated for Christmas, with string-lights all over everything, Christmas trees with various themes placed in each room, Christmas music playing softly on speakers throughout the building, and the smell of cinnamon on the air.
Each of her guests can have their own kitchen, each in their own separate room. They can experiment, making whatever comes to mind, or there are libraries of cookbooks so you can make anything you'd like. Martha walks around throughout the visit, helping people along while they concoct tasty treats.
There is a small diner in the middle of the warehouse, with retro booths, where you can share what you've made with your friends. One of Martha Stewart's personal assistants is the waiter.
When all of us had each cooked and baked and eaten to our heart's delight, we were given large goody bags as we left, filled with crafts, cookies, baking utensils, recipes, etc.
I'm ready to go back.
