Spring Hosting & Dinner Party Masterclass

Thursday, 13th March 2026 | 6:30pm – 9:30pm

Master the art of hosting with an intimate evening at STEM + STEM, where casual fine dining meets thoughtful wine pairing and seasonal design in the heart of the City of London.

Join STEM + STEM co-founders Ed Boarland and Dee Reid, alongside Head Sommelier Gosia Zielinska DipWSET, for an immersive dinner party masterclass that brings together food, wine, and flowers with effortless style.

Ed is Co-founder and Executive Chef of STEM + STEM, honing his craft currently as Executive Chef under Nieves Barragán Mohacho at Lagado, and previously at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay under Clare Smyth, The Waterside Inn with Michel Roux Jr., and more. Gosia brings her DipWSET qualification and passion for approachable wine education. Dee, trained at McQueens with a long career in buying departments of household names such as Burberry, brings a sharp eye for curation and style to every arrangement.

Over a three-course menu with wine pairing, discover how to create the kind of dinner parties that feel both elevated and relaxed. This isn’t a demonstration from afar – you’ll sit at the table, experience the meal, and learn the philosophy behind every element as it unfolds.

What you’ll learn:

Wine Pairing with Confidence – Gosia guides you through three wines (including bubbles and a versatile bottle to keep), demystifying pairing and building a thoughtful home cellar

Seasonal Menu Planning – Ed shares his approach to creating balanced, achievable menus that showcase the best of spring without the stress

Table Design & Florals – Dee demonstrates how to style a table with seasonal flowers that feel collected, not contrived. You’ll create your own small table arrangement to take home

You’ll take home:

• Your small table arrangement
• Recipe cards from the evening’s menu
