Mission:
Friends, eaters, drinkers, etc.
We would like to get a small group of fun-lovin cookers and eaters together for a bit of a social food club. Or a food-based social club, whichever you prefer, but the idea goes like this:
We have a handful of people who will get together to enjoy a meal in a person's apartment and each person can invite a companion to each function, space allowing.
One of the dedicated cookers will host each event and set the tone for the evening, providing the main dish. The dish can be whatever the host would like and the theme can run as far afield or as close to home as the host prefers but once set, each other cooker will provide a complement.
Sides will need to be provided, or breads, or desserts, and drinks can be cobbled together by everyone or deftly off-loaded to invited, non-cooking guests. Whatever we want.
Then the meal rotates to the next host/cooker’s apartment and another theme is set, another group convenes, and more merriment ensues.
So to kick it off, we're thinking we have 8 or so cookers who are committed to the notion so all 8 dont have to appear every time if schedules dont allow it. Then, once we get some people hooked on the idea, we pick a date, a place, a theme, and rock out. I can host the initial bash and we can start working out ideas and see if this has any legs at all and go from there. The point is not that we are showing off or making the fanciest things that we can make but simply that we are cooking and eating and carrying on and getting out into each others hoods, seeing other peoples well-appointed apartments, having drinks, and perhaps making things we haven't made before and learning a bit about cooking.
