Holiday Party Menu for Book Club - HomeCulinarian - 12-07-2007
In December we have a non-book meeting where we have a nice dinner. For the last two years, we've gone to one of the member's restaurant. She doesn't have the restaurant anymore, so another gal & I are cooking for the group. We met for lunch today to settle on a menu and divide the work. Someone else is bringing dessert. Everyone else is bringing their favorite wine to drink.
Here's the menu:
Appetizers - canopies of smoked salmon on a cucumber slice with a dill cream and caper garnish and stuffed mushrooms.
Soup Course - French Onion
Salad Course - Red wine poached pear salad (C@H)
Palette Cleansing – Raspberry Sorbet & champagne
Main Course - Pork Wellingtons with mushroom sauce, braised broccolini and lemon glazed carrots (C@H Holiday Book)
Dessert ???
This reminds me to ask whatever happened to the C@H Forum Virtual Book Club idea?

I'm too afraid to commit, Christmas + Catering = No Time!!
Sounds like a wonderful party, I know everything will be great!

I seem to vaguely remember some talk about it, but no real memory of what was decided.

I just got an email from my library that my copy of the recommended book is in and I'll be picking it up tomorrow. I think Roxanne said she was going to order it from Amazon. Anybody else going to join in?
HC, your menu sounds wonderful. Hope you have a great time.
Take pics!

What book was it, Maryann - I don't remember the idea got that far!! How fun. (Please don't say I'm the one that suggested a book...
)Your menu sounds quite tasty, Tammy - what are you stuffing the mushrooms with?
