Cooking Dinner Theatre: A Taste of India

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Hewitt Oaks, where moss-draped oaks and expansive Lowcountry views create the perfect backdrop for fabulous food, easy conversation, and a little culinary adventure.

Your evening begins with a warm welcome and flavorful bites to set the tone. From there, you’ll settle in as Chefs Christopher and Bethany Hewitt guide you through a live cooking demonstration, sharing the stories, techniques, and personal connections behind each dish.

For A Taste of India, Christopher and Bethany will share some of their own favorite recipes—from classics like Butter Chicken and Bhindi Do Pyaza to creative Indian–Southern fusion dishes. It’s sure to be a feast for all the senses!

During the cooking demonstration, you'll enjoy a three-course plated dinner paired with your choice of complimentary wine, beer, or Signature Cocktails. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips and insights you can use in your own kitchen, and you'll get all the recipes to recreate the experience at home whenever the mood strikes!

Expect a welcoming atmosphere, exceptional food, and the kind of gracious Southern hospitality that makes you want to linger just a little longer. We can’t wait to share this evening with you!
