Chef Paul Luna Leaves DC Restaurant &
Breaks Into Homes in 2006
Offers Extreme Cooking Classes in the Comfort of Washington Area Homes

Washington, D.C. - In the spirit of reinventing himself this New
Year, Chef Paul Luna is launching Extreme Home Cooking for residents in
the greater Washington area, including Virginia and Maryland.

With promotional prices for January starting at $20.06 an hour for a
party of four, Chef Luna brings fine dining to Washington area homes
and serves up a four or five-course meal of the customers' choosing
- whether for breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea or dinner. All customers
need to do is contact Chef Luna at to book a date,
brainstorm dishes and be hungry to experience fine dining in his or her
own space.

While the service does not cover food costs, Chef Luna purchases all of
the necessary ingredients and brings them to the event. Customers can
either accompany the chef to select groceries with their own on-hand
expert, or they can relax at home knowing that everything is taken care
of.

"Extreme home cooking can be as interactive as you want," says
Luna, who left the Oval Room to continue doing what he enjoys most -
sharing his kitchen craft with foodies. "Whether you want a personal
chef for the night without breaking the bank or whether you want to
learn how to serve a five-course meal to entertain your friends, the
choice is yours."

Luna's innovative Extreme Cooking classes at the Oval Room in
downtown Washington have been popular for giving guests the hands-on
experience of working in an upscale restaurant kitchen. Students helped
design their own menu options and learned to sear and sauté their
creations. This year Luna hopes to recreate these experiences in the
comfort of area residents' homes. Away from the stress and bustle of
the restaurant, a dinner party can enjoy an amazing meal and have the
opportunity to learn fine foodie tips from a world-class chef.

Chef Paul Luna has more than 15 years experience working as an
executive chef. His training includes apprenticeships in France, Italy,
and New York City. He has opened three popular restaurants in Atlanta,
Ga., and worked as executive chef at Washington's Oval Room in 2005
where he first introduced his Extreme Cooking classes to
Washingtonians.
