Last night we had our first "Cook with Steph and Liz"!! There is a bit of context required at this point... A couple months ago I bought Dorie Greenspan's cookbook, "
Baking: From My Home to Yours", and have been baking my way through the book ever since. Dorie is regarded by some as the QUEEN of baking and there is a club called "
TWD: Tuesdays with Dorie" in which a different Dorie recipe is selected every week and each person in the club bakes that recipe and blogs about their experience. So the caveats are a) you have to do it every week or you get kicked out b) you must have a blog c) you have to make what they tell you to make. Well when Steph realized she also owned a copy of Dorie's book, we took it as a sign, and thus we formed "Tuesdays with Steph and Liz" Hmmm, except we only very rarely will actually do it on a Tuesday and we have expanded our night to dinner also, so "Cook with Steph and Liz" is the winner!! We are aiming for a bi-monthly date :) Robbie and Ross have their own Xbox date and disappear upstairs to play
Call of Duty.
So the menu was:
Chicken Milanese with Lemon Cream sauce and assorted greens,
wild mushroom risotto, and Dorie's
Blueberry-Peach cobbler. My favorite thing was the risotto, but I had been craving it. If you haven't made risotto or you love risotto, try this recipe. I highly recommend it. Perfecto!
