While wrapping up our last dinner for To Kill a Mockingbird a few months ago, a few of us played with the idea of doing The Princess Bride. We took a look at my copy that I've had since childhood, and talked about what I would cook, and I decided this would actually be a brilliant, crowd pleasing idea. Everyone loves the movie and the book is very similar: very easy and entertaining reading (which let's face it, we need once and a while) and the menu I brainstormed works! I started the book club with Game of Thrones, and gave it a fun, medieval theme and so closing with the same kind of theme kind of makes it full circle in my mind.
Presenting: The Princess Bride: The Menu:
Chapter 1:
MLT- Mutton, Lettuce and Tomato
(Hold the Mutton) This is a perky, deconstructed lamburger slider with bacon, lettuce and tomato
Chapter 2:
Never Go In Against The Sicilian
This is my favorite sauce recipe from one of my Sicilian cousins, we call it Sandra Sauce:
It's a light tomato based cream sauce with prosciutto, mushrooms and peas, and it's divine
Chapter 3:
Chocolate Coating Makes it Go Down Easier
Stuffed Chicken Mole Enchiladas
Chapter 4:
Anybody Got A Peanut (ButterCup)?
A peanut butter brownie sundae topped with peanut buttercups (!!!)
I hope everyone is as excited as I am about this menu, and that many of you can make it. It will be on Sunday, February 8th and 6:00 PM. Wear comfortable clothes, dinner is $40, BYOB and have fun storming the castle!
