Tonight chef Whitney Miller hosts a cookie-decorating demo at the Coop, and guests who purchase a dinner entree will receive a free cookie decorating kit so they can play along. In keeping with the season, each free cookie will be pumpkin-shaped, and the kit will also include frosting and various toppings (chocolates, sprinkles, crushed Oreos, and the like). 

Miller, Season 1 winner of reality show Masterchef, recently joined the Coop team as chef de cuisine, and on Friday one of Miller’s specialty dishes, BBQ shrimp, will be on special for $12.99. Cookie-lovin’ guests who bring in Miller’s new book, Modern Hospitality: Simple Recipes with Southern Charm, can get that signed and get their pictures taken with the chef. 

Location: The Coop, 610 W. Morse Blvd., Winter Park
Time: 5-9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30
