Kung Pao Cauliflower made with T-fal Actifry

Earlier this summer T-fal teamed up with Matt Basile of Fidel Gastro to celebrate the launch of their latest innovation: the Actifry Express. With the premise of marrying function and design to prepare gourmet dishes in record time: guests were treated to live demos which showcased just how little oil (1 tbsp or less!) was used to create the cooked and delicious fried canapés at each station. From mushroom topped crostini to spicy cauliflower bites the Actifry delivered on food that was both healthy and delicious.

While the Pink Party in support of CBCF has been a top notch event with 800+ guests attending year after year, this year’s Pink Party 2015 was all about exclusivity as only about 350 to 450 lucky guests went to a mansion at a secret location in the Bridle Path.

If you missed it, well you can check out what the fuss was all about in our photos below. Those that were there can attest it was quite an amazing pool party complete with a waterfall with a DJ booth quite high up.
