This year friends of mine have been doing a series of tasting menus at their home. It seemed like so much fun that tonight I decided to repay the favor.

Everything came out well and I think we managed to serve it with a minimum of fuss. Some of the recipes are new--I'll do a separate entry on those--and others are old favorites that I enjoyed sharing. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I'm particularly pleased that I seem to have managed the portions reasonably well, since causing my dinner guests to explode was not one of of my goals. I think I'll have to do this again sometime, but next time I'll schedule it for better cooking weather and a time when I don't have a show looming on the horizon.
