The rain scuppered plans for the Creative Cooking Group to celebrate the last day of summer in Lin’s back garden. But the ‘finger-food feast’ moved easily indoors and everyone enjoyed the delicious appetizers and desserts …and most especially the joy of meeting in-person after the 2+ year ‘damnpandemic’ shutdown.
The Creative Cooking Group meets once a month. They rotate the role of ‘host’ – the member who creates the menu, provides the recipes, and hosts the group in her home. Each participant chooses one recipe to create, and the result is a spectacular meal as ‘many hands make light work’. Today’s finger-food feast was an exception. Typically dinner includes wine/beverage, appetizer, soup, salad, bread/buns, main course of protein, vegetables and starch, and dessert.
Today we were delighted to welcome Nancy, a new member as well as Bea C whose daughters, Joan and Barb, drove out from Toronto to bring their mom to visit. Bea was a long-time member of Creative Cooking and her recipes continue to inspire us.
