I love to cook, entertain and share fresh homemade food. Having dinner parties with family & friends over for food, drinks and fun has the best way to do this.

Having been out on workers comp since August 05 has put a serious crimp in the entertaining budget… the solution, cooking parties.

The wife and I will invite 2 or 3 couple’s over, each responsible for one dish and one bottle of wine or spirit to complete the meal.

Unlike a potluck where everyone brings a dish ready to serve, everything from prep to cleanup is done in our kitchen.

This gets everyone involved.

It’s a great way to learn and pass on method and technique, and it sure takes a lot of work out of having a dinner party.

It’s proven to be a lot of fun, and planning a meal with 4 – 6 other people requires much thought and cooperation.
