Guests Can Dim the Lights, Light the Candles and Enjoy a Romantic Dinner for Two – Right at Home!

Pittsburgh, PA – Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens invites couples to a very special virtual date night of cooking along with Café Phipps’ own Chef Amy Reed. Friday, Sept. 25 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., each couple will get the opportunity to connect and create a delicious meal together as Phipps’ highly-skilled Chef Amy demonstrates all of the techniques and tricks participants need to whip up a four-course gourmet meal from the comfort of their own home. This dinner includes an easy to make appetizer, a fresh seasonal salad, a delicious seafood entree and a smooth chocolate fondue for dessert.

Participants can upgrade their packages to receive extra goodies from Phipps! The packages include:
