"Dry-Run" Thanksgiving -- Nov. 19

The first meeting of the NY/NJ Cooking Club will be on November the 19th at 7:30pm at Sara's house in Astoria. The theme of the meal is "Dry-Run Thanksgiving." Menu to be announced shortly. Return here to view menu, corresponding recipes, and who will be cooking what.

Club "Rules" (so far):
  • "Meetings" aka Dinner to take place on the third sunday of every month approx at 7:30pm, unless notified otherwise.


  • * The venue of each meeting will rotate from member to member so that each person gets a chance to host.


  • The host will cook the entree


  • A vegetarian entree option will be available at every meal (unless it's a vegetarian theme, in which case, duh.), however vegetarian club members will not be the only ones expected to make the vegetarian option, this will rotate as well.


  • Themes or Type of meal will be agreed upon by all the members attending the previous meal.


  • Wine and Non-Alcoholic beverages will be supplied at each meal. The beverages paired with each meal should be part of the learning/eating experience.


  • No one will be forced to cook or eat anything they do not want to
* if you are unable to host for whatever reason, but would still like to participate, it is allowed and you will still get a turn at cooking the entree.

umm. so that's it so far. These aren't really rules so much as they are guidelines so none of us get confused or feel short-changed or what have you. Feel free to add to the "rules" as necessary or suggest modifications or changes.

I think it's best if we choose next month's theme and/or menu at each meeting and at least sketch out who wants to cook what even if there is no recipe at hand and then we can research and post what dish we are making and then I will organize that into the menu and post before the next meeting. With something like this, a holiday menu, it is easy to choose stuff from like epicurious.com or eating well's posted menus.
