Everybody has cookbooks in their house. They never use them- they just gather dust on the shelf. Why keep them around? They cry out to be cooked with. We decided to form the Cookbook Party Club to answer that call.
This is how it works:
- When CPC gathers, we put courses in a hat, and draw randomly.
- We search through whatever cookbooks we have on hand. Everyone must cook something they've never cooked before, and try to follow (more or less) the recipe in the book.
- We make a store run for ingredients.
- The cooking begins!
With three people cooking, we have one entree, one side, and one dessert. With more, we add another side, and an appetizer. Three or more cooks in the kitchen gets a bit crowded, but it's fun to cook with friends.
Julia: has been cooking since she was about 7 years old. She has a thing for pastry, and is a bit obsessed with food. Delicious, delicious food. Pigs are her favorite dead animal, but she tries not to make the other dead animals too jealous.
Rick: started to learn to cook from a very young age and after some experimention - yes, Tabasco DOES go with tuna - has become quite a cook, specializing in solid, hearty dishes such as chili, stroganoff, home made pasta sauce, or homemade from scratch soups and pie.
Thad: trained in the fine art of pizza making at his father's side he now and then will actually try to cooking something other than pizza. Nobody has died from his cooking so far and that's just aces!
Jeff: a fair hand at the world of cooking. Enjoys grilling even though the cruel grasp of winter puts a damper on that. His breads, pies, grilled meats, and chili are enjoyed by all but the heathens who refuse to try them.
