An interactive cooking party is a great way to cocialize, learn and enjoy great food.
Fundraiser for Arts & Services for the Disabled
Thank you to everyone who participated in our “Cooking Class for a Cause” benefitting Arts & Services for the Disabled (www.artsandservices.org). We had a great time making new friends and “grilling with an Asian flair” together. For those of you who could not make it, or for those of you who attended but lost or forgot to take your recipes, they are posted below. We enjoyed the meal accompanied by a delicious zinfandel from Opolo Vineyards (www.opolo.com)
We plan to do another event for ASD in August — stay tuned for details!

BBQ Sauce
Happy Fourth of July!
I’m still working in Pebble Beach — the Fourth of July will be my last day. I’m looking forward to getting home!
While we think making your own BBQ sauce is always the best way to go, Bon Appetit online recently did a taste test of store-bought brands. Their top picks include Kraft Original, Stubbs and KC Masterpiece Original. Read about it here: http://www.bonappetit.com/blogsandforums/blogs/badaily/2010/07/the-best-barbecue-sauce.html
If you’re up for making your own this weekend, click the link below for our recipe. The recipe includes pork ribs, but you can use it on anything. Enjoy, and let freedom ring!
