"My business is a direct offshoot of what I learned in Tante Marie's professional training and I was also a teacher there for three years," said Bibby Gignilliat, Founder/CEO of Parties That Cook. "Mary is my mentor and when she called and offered me the keys to her space I was thrilled with the chance to take over the venue. The romantic look and feel of the building is filled with great karma from the culinary legends that have walked through her door. I'm very excited and honored for Parties That Cook to carry on the tradition at Tante Marie's."
