Our first cooking event was hosted by Pooneet and Mike, the theme being "Recipes that Represent You". It was a very fun little dinner party.
Mike made his mother's Lasagna (he is a classic and classy guy). Pooneet make a Mexican Pizza (he loves entertaining and this is a common starter he brings out in a pinch). It had a fantastic cornmeal crust topped with a roasted tomatillo sauce, chicken or beef and a light crumbling of cheese. Emily W. brought Beef sliders with horseradish sauce from Baltimore (She is a Baltimore girl, and proud of it!). Erin made a delicious squash pie (She is a green market fan, and loves cooking with seasonal ingredients). Alice make a light and flavorful apple crumble (She has a pension for sweets). I made sausage stuffed artichokes braised in white wine (I love playing with Italian flavors in unique ways).
I do believe we all brought wine as well. We spent the evening feasting on the dishes, sharing stories and drinking wine. It was a fantastic first dinner party.
