This is a comprehensive course on dining etiquette with 10 videos and 8 downloadable PDF articles. It covers the topics of fine dining, wine knowledge, hosting private dinner parties, dining etiquette and table manners (5 lessons), and English Afternoon Tea etiquette. The course focuses on fine dining. However, one can apply these etiquettes to all dining occasions.
Many people are not aware that when sitting down at a dining table, it is not only a test of one's table manners but also his/her communication skills and poise. Dining is not eating, whether at home or at a restaurant, it is social, involving some social skills, interaction with other people and servers. Nowadays, some interviews are conducted in a restaurant because employers want to hire people with excellent communication skills.
English afternoon tea also falls under the category of fine dining so we have included it. Afternoon tea expert Ms Ellen shares tea etiquette and demonstrates how to enjoy your cuppa elegantly. This section is really a treat and a demonstration of the beauty of the British etiquette and the British culture.
So the course is not only teaching how to use a knife and fork, it is indeed a lesson of communication skills, poise and elegance.
