Invite friends over for a private pizza-making lesson and party with NYC celebrity chef Wylie Dufresne, owner of Stretch Pizza and judge on America's Culinary Cup, airing now on CBS. (Your guests might also recognize him from Top Chef, Beat Bobby Flay and The Bear.) Wylie became famous as one of the city's original practitioners of "molecular gastronomy" at his Michelin-starred restaurant wd-50, and now he's applying his food-science background to perfecting the dough at his Flatiron-District pizzeria. He'll bring all the ingredients to your place for a fun night of dough-stretching, pizza building and cocktail (or mocktail) making for up to 8 guests. And he'll bring his own pizza oven! This is a rare opportunity to ask the chef everything you've ever wanted to know about the science of pizza, and make your own restaurant-quality pies at home.

Date flexible but subject to the chef's restaurant schedule and availability; location must be in NYC.

This is a rare opportunity to sit down with one of America's most inventive storytellers: Naomi Novik, the New York Times bestselling author behind the Scholomance Trilogy, the Temeraire series, and acclaimed standalone novels including Uprooted and Spinning Silver. Naomi will treat the winner to lunch and a lively conversation! Hear about how she built her worlds, captivated audiences, and turned creative writing into a rewarding career. Lunch will be at a restaurant in Manhattan (dietary preferences and mutually convenient dates to be considered). The winning bidder will also take home a signed copy of Naomi's latest book.

$100 to dine at Miriam - Upper West Side. At Miriam Restaurant the cuisine is uniquely, distinctly Israeli. Our menu is seasonal, and many of our ingredients come straight from Israel. Yet what exactly is Israeli cuisine? Truthfully, to enter the subject is not unlike entering a sea by foot and feeling a sudden deepening. Unlike French, Chinese, Italian food, etc., one does not unfold the menu at Miriam with a set of associations firmly in the mind. In truth, there exists no single dish, no single style of preparation that one might call uniquely Israeli. And yet this lack of identity is its identity, its beauty.
