This is a group for true food enthusiasts. This is for people who have so much to give, that all other food groups seem inadequate. This is for those who want both an outlet and an audience. I want us to create extraordinary dishes together. Extraordinary does not necessarily mean complex. For me, it means bringing simple dishes back to their full glory. When was the last time you had Bucatini all'Amatriciana that echoed of the fabled dish of Rome and Amatrice? When was the last time you had S …

This is a meetup for women who appreciate beer and want to brew it. Brewing has predominately been considered a male undertaking. The oldest written document is a Sumerian Clay tablet. It is a recipe for beer. Beer is made up of the same ingredients for bread and everything needed was found in any kitchen of that age. It was women who brewed the beer. They had a goddess, her name was NinKasi. She was a brewmaster. For over a millenium and centuries after, women continued to brew beer. Women entr …

Hey there, I've always been into dinner parties, sharing my kitchen, teaching cool cooking stuff, enjoying great wines, and making friends. I used to run a restaurant on my yacht a few years back, and found it very satisfying, so the idea I am developing here will be a hybrid of my passion and my experience. The goal here is to have dinner parties where we create a theme dinner, then you all can decide the level of involvement you want, from shopping, setting up, working in the kitchen, opening …

Good books and good food go hand in hand, I think! A not-taken-too-seriously sort of women's book group that also shuns your everyday "chicklit" - not because some aren't romping good reads but they don't exactly warrant full discussion. Meetings take place at a restaurant or establishment so we can all try new places. Also, if you don't quite get around to finishing the book (or reading it for that matter...no worries!).  Just feel free to come to the meetings and socialize too.  Quarterly, we …
