Cooking Club 2


Unfortunately, we lost another member of our club. Christine moved to Toronto - hopefully to start a new cooking club there. Julie is our new addition and so far has made some great contributions. This month's theme was "Salt". I love how each theme brings with it, many different interpretations.



The menu included:




Basil was subbed in for the thyme, which gave it a much fresher flavour. These were VERY easy and would make a great party food.



Pink Cadillac Convertible

None for me, but the rest of the group seemed to enjoy it.



Amarjot - Veggie Salad with Chow Mein Noodles and Raita



Julie - Herbed Roasted Beef in a Salt Crust.

We were all quite smitten with the crust, as none of us had ever done this before. Worth trying for a dinner party - cook less than the recipe requires.



Suzanne - Beet Chips with Various Types of Salt

I love beets in any shape or form. Cutting them extremely thin is the key.



Jillian - Crispy Waffles with Salted Caramel Coulis

To die for! Seriously, some of the best waffles I have ever had and the sauce is ridiculously good. I made the waffles a few days later to eat with local strawberries and whipped cream.

How does one become part of the club? Do you have to live in Windsor?

I would have loved the salt theme.

I miss you girls... I can't really have my own cooking club here since my MIL doesn't really welcome me in the kitchen. What a bummer! My new job has kept me very busy though...
