My husband and I love to watch cooking shows. But you know what’s better than watching the show in your family room? Being there LIVE with the chef a few feet away, showing you have to replicate his or her creations. I am super excited to attend the next Macy’s Culinary Council event (and not just because the chef and I share the same name)!
Saturday, February 24th at 4 p.m., Chef Dana Herbert will be at the Macy’s Home store in Aventura, Florida showcasing how to prepare some of his award-winning dishes. My favorite parts of these events are when the chefs share their personal anecdotes, stories behind the creation of the recipes they prepare, and especially that you get to know them as a person! As the chef prepares the dishes, he points out the utensils and cooking products that you can pick up at Macy’s after the event!
A LITTLE ABOUT CHEF DANA HERBERT
Chef Dana Herbert, also known as Delaware’s “King of Cakes” and “The Sugar Daddy” (because of his work with pulled and blown sugar), creates recipes that are built on simple, straightforward, sweet and savory flavors that are easy to recreate from home. An expert pastry and savory chef trained in both Culinary and Pastry Arts, Chef Dana is part of the James Beard Celebrity Chef Tour and was the winner of TLC’s Cake Boss: The Next Great Baker Season 1!
Chef Dana is dedicated to bringing our families back to the dinner table and encourages cooks and foodies to not be afraid in the kitchen.

I wish there was a Cooking event near me. Honestly I find cooking a chore, any more than 3 or 4 ingredients and I am lost. I did like reading your article though. I am going to Thailand in April and I have enrolled in a cooking class to help me learn to cook the type of food I like to eat.
Dana says
I hope you have a wonderful trip to Thailand! Definitely write about your cooking class – I would love to hear all about it!

Amazing. blown sugar is an incredible art. It’s so hard to handle with a very hot temperature. Yet, he was able to master this art.
