Tallahassee Cooking Club, December 2009
PUBLISHED ON: 12.15.2009
We enjoyed hosting Cooking Club for the month of December. What a wonderful time of year to be able to host friends and enjoy a wonderful meal together. We were really hoping to entertain outside on our patio. However, the weather was too cold for our guests to be comfortable.
This month our dinner theme was Colombian. Colombian food is best described as a blend of European, with aspects of African and indigenous cuisine.
Join me, on a photo journey of a wonderful evening together discovering the cuisine of Colombia.

Yummmmm!We lived in Tallahassee years ago, when there was only one Chinese place that served great food. Most of what we cooked came from Publix. I missed pizza; but learned to make gumbo and fried chicken.We used to go to Apalachicola for oysters. Lovely.

I love so much that you have this cooking club. It sounds super fun! I need to mass up the number of foodie friends that I have so that I can do something like this. I love that beef roll and the pesto is such a gorgeous green. And dulce de leche rocks my world. Seriously.

I've always wondered about Columbia's cuisine .. and the table setting, gorgeous and inviting, I wanted to sit right down. The vintage green bowl with white daisies caught my eye too, as I have a few of these.Nicely done!
