Shower Cooking List
This is the list of stuff I made for yesterday's wedding shower:
- Cheese plate with piave, tallegio, and fontal (to go with this I also got a bottle of port and a bottle of moscato d'asti)
- Panforte (following the recipe in The Cheese Course) to accompany the cheese
- Grilled pork tenderloin with ginger jam (from this week's Bittman column)
- Fresh cucumber salad (from Dakshin)
- Curd rice salad (from Dakshin)
- Oil Pickles ("Mixed Vegetable Atvar" from Salsas, Sambals, Chutneys, and Chowchows, but I used sambar powder instead of curry powder)
- Shrimp and cabbage salad ("Grilled and Chilled Shrimp with Cabbage and Peanuts" from Thrill of the Grill, but I left out the peanuts and broiled the shrimp instead of grilling them)
- Devil Shrimp (from JPFF, but I used pre-peeled shrimp, reduced the sauce by about half after they cooked, and thickened it with a bit of cornstarch so that the dish was better suited to serving on a plate and eating with toothpicks)
- Canapes of toasted baguette slices topped with goat cheese, fresh basil, oven-dried tomatoes, and good olive oil.
- I also made a batch of "Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Dip" from Big Flavors, but I forgot to bring the pita bread (for grilling) with me to the party and there was more than enough food anyway.
