Cooking Up a Storm
Image by Jill Clardy
I love to plan/cook for a dinner party. We had 6 good friends over for our traditional New Year’s Cioppino meal.
The Menu:
Appetizers: Parmesan Crisps with Goat Cheese; Gruyere Gougeres
Cioppino with Red Wine (featuring lots of fresh Dungeness crab, mussels, clams and shrimp)
Baby lettuce salad with blue cheese, dried cranberries and a balsamic vinagrette
Fresh sourdough bread
Pasta (to soak up the soupy cioppino broth)
Molten chocolate cakes with raspberries, dusted with powdered sugar
Wine, wine and more wine
Irish coffee (the famous San Francisco Buena Vista cafe recipe)
and of course….. champagne at midnight (yes us old folks actually managed to stay up until midnite….)
Sounds like a simple menu but I was in the kitchen most of the day. The open bottle of Tractor Shed Red wine was used in the Cioppino. I considered sipping some while cooking, but decided against it – don’t worry I more than made up for it later !
Hope your New Year is filled with good friends, fun and laughter – just the way we started !
