Carlos Gaytan has his own restaurant - Mexique on Chicago Avenue in Chicago. With great creativity, love, and dedication he applies his knowledge of French cooking techniques and ingredients to his roots of traditional Mexican cuisine, creating a revolution of Mexican gastronomy.

Mexique has received much recognition since its opening, including one of Chicago magazine's top new restaurants of 2009, best restaurant of 2010 and received its first star in the Michelin Guide in 2013. Most recently Carlos was awarded "Chef of the Year 2011," by the American Culinary Federation.

Lorna has invited the Michelin star chef to create and an exclusive sit-down dinner with great food and wine. The experience promises to be a true awakening of the senses, as each dish tells a story through a Mexican menu with a strong South African influence.

Cooking with Lorna and Friends 'The Winter Edition' is a culinary heaven for those that enjoy good food, wine and entertainment.
