We were invited to the Luxe Appliance Studio (king/parliament) for a lunch. Little did we know that we were actually going to be making the lunch ourselves with the guidance of executive chef Nikko Jacino. It was freaking awesome!!

Luxe was so generous in teaching us how to use their extraordinary Bosch, Thermador & Gaggenau - so we can share our knowledge with our own clients and friends. If you are in the market for chef's kitchen level appliances, you too can come in and try them all for yourself before buying. What a cool concept.
