Just the right number of (smokin' hot) cooks in the kitchen.
(I swear we were all in the kitchen until it was time to eat...)
Our second fabulous dinner party was a serious group effort. Although I did the menu planning, everyone pitched in to get all the ingredients together, and then everyone just took a dish and ran with it. I tend to be somewhat controlling (ok, I'll admit it - I'm a complete control freak!) so I was mildly apprehensive about letting people help. But, as I am discovering over and over again lately, doing things together totally rocks.
It was, in a word, AWESOME, to share my kitchen with these fabulous women.
Here's what we made:
Appetizers
Watermelon Salad with Mint and Lime (recipe)
Cucumber "Bruschetta" (recipe)
First Course
Plum, Raspberry, and Tarragon Soup (recipe)
Second Course
Zucchini Tagliatelle with Cucumber, Mint, and Lemon (recipe)
Zucchini Pasta with Pesto (recipe)
Yellow Potatoes with Swiss Chard, Garlic, and Rosemary (recipe)
[Imagine we did not eat it so fast, and there is a picture here.]
Dessert
Coconut Curry Ice Cream (recipe)
