[Sca-cooks] Planning food and cooking nights

[The Eloquent Page]

When we did our cooks meetings we picked a topic - salats, pasta dishes, 
main dishes, desserts, etc.  The meetings would normally be in someone's 
home. and each participant would research their own recipe and create 
their own redaction.  They each would bring their redaction, a finished 
dish and/or the ingredients to make it, their research, etc.    We'd set 
everything cooking or heating, then sit around and discuss sources, 
cooking, techniques, etc.  When everything was ready we'd all sit around 
a table and sample the various dishes, and then discuss the redactions 
and experiences.  (Non cooks were always welcome for the discussions and 
tastings.)  They were a lot of fun, and I always learned a lot.  Some of 
the most interesting meetings were the ones where we all redacted the 
same recipe, and discussed the sometimes wildly varying dishes that 
resulted.
