Culinary Immersion Supper Club

My name is Laura Laird. I am a private chef and the creator of Culinary Immersion Supper Club, home of the interactive Murder Mystery Dinner Party. I love what I do. This is not just a hobby for me, it is a passion and I put everything into creating the best food I can for my clients. I shop only the finest ingredients possible, organic, non GMO, grass fed, wild caught, etc. I prepare and cook eve

rything myself from scratch and I pay attention to every detail. I bring my own plates and silverware and everything needed to prepare/cook everything in your home. The only thing my clients need to do is set their table and bring their favorite wine. I offer 3, 4 and 5 courses as well as vegetarian only menus, so there's something for everyone. I started this business with themed dinners in mind but never really thought about the Murder Mystery theme. However, about 1.5 years after I started Culinary Immersion Supper Club, I found out about murder mystery dinner theaters. I loved the idea but wanted to do something a little more elegant and serve my multi course dinners instead of just finger foods. I also did not like the idea of guests having to move about the room looking for clues. I have a friend whose husband reminds me a tiny bit of David Suchet, the man who most famously played Agatha Christie's detective Hercule Poirot. Suddenly, an idea emerged. I researched and found out Agatha Christie did not have a Hercule Poirot Mystery written in 1927 so I proceeded to write an Agatha Christie inspired Murder Mystery plot with my friend and her husband in mind. They gladly agreed to participate and even invited some of their friends. Thus, Laura Laird's Murder in the Hamptons was born. I prepared a 4 course menu inspired by some of Poirot's favorites and the evening was a success. That was the first of many Murder Mystery events and I found that writing them came naturally to me. I have written at least a dozen more mysteries since. Almost always, with very few exceptions, my clients play people who actually lived in the year in which the mystery is set and I do as much research as I can into the lives of the characters I choose in order to find some anchor, usually an actual event/person in their lives on which to build a fun and credible secret. All my heart and a lot of work goes into these events so you can be sure you will have a memorable experience.
