Earlier this week we hosted our neighborhood foodies for a north-African themed dinner. This involved days of menu planning, shopping, and cooking. I loved every minute of it.
I made bread, a total of 4 loaves so guests could take some home, too. Served simply, family style, were lamb tagine, curried cous cous, and carrot salad with ginger. Numerous bottles of wine and sparkling water littered the table.
For desert I made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate ganache and frosted with Mexican chocolate frosting. Tom brought a nice dry champagne to go with.
As you might imagine, everyone went home with cupcakes as well as bread; and we've been eating leftovers ever since. What a way to go!
