Well, we just did it again, but we only were responsible for one meal. Bob and I "guest cheffed" Friday Dinner for the Cincinnati group's Regional Gathering - "Revolutions". As always, we had some fun playing with the theme. A complete report and all the photos is posted on my blog (http://funplayingwithfood.blogspot.com), but here's a sampling!
Since we were traveling over 200 miles, we didn't really bring much equipment - we relied on the local group's stuff, which worked out rather well.
First - the Prep Room setup:
One wall of the Prep Room ready for business
Our 5 Burner "Kitchen"
Blessed are those who washeth the dishes
Two Full Sized, Fully Stuffed Fridges and Freezers, from RentACenter
Of course, all of the food was round, or rolled, or otherwise somehow connected (however tenuously) to the theme.
We started with three soups:
Turkey Soup with Wagon Wheel Pasta
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Turkey Roulades with Almond, Apricot and Cranberry Stuffing
Turkey Gravy
Breads Rolled Around Stuffings
Bob made several varieties, with meats or cheeses and seasonings. They were fabulous!
Everything came out exactly as planned! And, our duties were finished after Friday dinner, so we were actually able to enjoy the party for the rest of the weekend.
