When I lived in a different city we had what we called the "Gourmet Club", basically we were a group of women that enjoyed cooking and learning new recipes and cooking ideas. So how is worked is that each month 1 person would host a lunch or dinner and demonstrate a recipe that she liked, and then we would all eat! Sometimes it wasnt even a member that hosted, it could be like a special guest. We once were invited to the Japanese Ambassadors home where his wife did an amazing sushi demonstation. Sometimes it was arranged at a restaurant where the chef would demonstrate something on the menu. It was a wonderful group, (we were about 12 members) that was really great for meeting new people, learning new recipes, and just alot of fun. It would be great if something similiar could get organized here...... any ideas or anyone interested?
