I'm doing a show for a friend in a few weeks and this gal HATES to cook! She's one of those people who shops at a lot of gourmet grocery stores and deli's and she eats out a lot....yes, she is single. She's very successful and a work-a-holic too (probably works 10-12 hour days).
I'm trying to think of something fun to do at her show. I used to work with her and most of the guests there will be former co-workers as well. Several of them have already hosted shows for me too. All of the shows I've had from this group of people are in the $600-$800 range so I'm sure that's why my friend wants to host.....she's jealous and competitive and wants in on the free stuff too!
What would be fun? This is a pretty rowdy group as well (mostly single, most live in-town/down-town, girls, guys, straight, & gay). As my friend put it "I'm serving Mimosas, Margaritas, and Bloody Marys, I hope you'll make something good to go with them!"
I was thinking of playing the 'Who am I?" game that I saw on this board a while back (I've been saving it for an occasion with just the right group that wouldn't be offended).
I was thinking about some of the recipes in the new Cooking For Two & More cookbook, but the only problem I see with that is there will be a lot of peope there and I need a recipe that will feed everyone. I was kind of thinking that since she isn't too fond of cooking that I would pair her up against someone who also doesn't know their way around the kitchen too well and see who is faster (funnier) at finishing a recipe....
Any ideas?
