Objective
The purpose is to experiment with
cooking foods you do not normally do, exchange recipes at the end of the party,
and of course to enjoy and meet new and different kinds of people.
Secret
I am not a great cook so my husband does dinner party cooking. I only
have to buy ingredients!!!!!!!!!!!
Format
A member hosts the evening.
Max number per dinner party is 8 including host (but obviously can differ
dependent on size of house etc)
The hostess
selects the food theme for the evening (ie. russian/italian/british/greek),
provides the main course, and provides pre-cocktail drinks and nibbles.
She then allocates the guests to bring starters or desserts. She can provide
recipes but not essential.
The guests
provide the starter or dessert
and brings what she wants to drink during the meal (ie. wine/ soft drink etc).
Please feel free to decorate according to the theme!
Last Year (2008-2009 season)
We kicked off the year with a tapas style buffet for all.
Then we had dinner parties every 2 months within the smaller groups and ended
with a BBQ for all.
Forward Planning
We need to fix up dates throughout the year for these parties to
go-ahead. Lets try and do this after the general meeting on Thursday, October
1st. Please bring diaries and suggested dates you would be happy to host.
Please put in your diaries the kick off buffet on 14-Nov-09 at 8:00pm at my
house (Vanessa's).
Please let me know if you can come! Then I will announce theme and what to
bring.
Allergies
Please let me know if you have any allergies or foods you do not eat.
We can cater for this! Nothing will defeat us!
Other Info
The theme is not announced until much nearer the time for the dinner
party so you commit to a date rather than commit to a theme. Also we may have up
to 3 separate groups for the dinner party but they are totally flexible. When
the dates are announced just sign up to the date which most suits you.
If you have any questions you can always catch me at the meeting on Thursday or
email me or call me.
Best wishes,
