While I was eating saltines, Cooking Club was enjoying an Asian-inspired menu of fish, vegetables and seaweed. While I wasn't able to attend due to illness, here's what I captured via email, photo, conversation and for a short while, via speakersphone. . .The Asian-Inspired Menu:
Hearty Shittake and Miso Soup
Seaweed Salad
Sushi (various rolls)
Salmon Baked in Salt Crust with Curried Vegetable Stew
- recipe submitted by Kathleen Cunningham
Mango on Sticky Rice - Kow Neuw Mamuang
Attendees: Mary Kay, Martha Ellen, Ben, Bridget
Cost: $$
Evening Highlights:
- Custom fortune cookies kept the night interesting. Mary Kay didn't realize that they were custom, and Ben ate the best fortune (maybe two)
- Martha Ellen almost dropped/ruined the salt crusted Salmon but with a team effort (and lots of spatulas) it was saved. Good thing it was a stew.
- Bridget had sensual/educational shopping moments with both John @ Kona Jack's and Dennis @ Fresh Market.
- Mary Kay experienced Saraga--all 15 aisles.
- Themes were taken to the next level.
Key Learnings:
- The CCB (Cooking Club Box) needs to be transported to the host's house before the event, in the case that the previous host gets sick
- That was a lot of food.
- Fans and interested parties are welcome to submit recipes.
- New living/dining room configurations add to the evening.
Next up: sometime in January. Theme: tbd.

Close Roy Jack, there was so much food the dessert didn't get made. I believe that is a cardinal sin in Cooking Club but it was Midnight on a Monday night and we were in food coma and I had a stomach ache from eating paper.
