A Feast Fit for a King ... of SPJCM

A "little" dinner I prepared for a few friends from SPJCM in honor of our pal Hiral.

First, and in line with the Mediterranean theme, an Italian salad with fava beans, drizzled with oil and vinegar.

Next, my spaghetti specialty, made with my signature recipe pink sauce, tomato chunks and bits of black olive.

Finally, my coup de grace, grilled strips of tender chicken, marinated overnight in an experimental za'atar-based mixture, showered with shavings of parmesan cheese, and served with halves of tomato and mushroom grilled in the caramelized aftermath. Said experiment turned out to be a suprise hit, and will be repeated at future parties to confirm the results scientifically.

  3. Hehe, yes, I haven't had my own kitchen before, and a lot of my culinary knowledge is theoretical. So far, all my "test subjects" have survived. ^_^

  5. I got a few friends who are playing a new game in France : 'The almost perfect dinner'. In fact, it is inspired from one of our TV show. The game consists in inviting a few friends and trying to cook them "The almost perfect dinner". Not only the food is evaluated but also the presentation. At the end of the "perfect dinner", the guests have to give a note. And the week after, one of the guests is supposed to invite them all to its perfect dinner, etc... until the final results reveals the 'perfect cooker' among all of them.
