I've had enough of paying for meals that just aren't that good (with a couple of exceptions) and would like to combine my keen interest in cooking and eating with meeting up maybe once a month with like minded people. What I've got in mind is something where we could take it in turns to host a lunch - preparing the main course, with other 'members' bringing puddings or starters perhaps. Maybe it could go on to a light hearted 'make something out of this ingredient' for next time - or with a theme each time (Indian, veg, in season, etc.). I have to say I am not an expert - I follow recipes and do have the occasional disaster - but I enjoy it. I like to think I have a fairly discerning palate - and certainly appreciate fine dining, so not for anyone looking just for cottage pie or chilli concarne (do love those too though!!!). I am near Sauze-Vaussais, just 5 minutes from the D948 / N10 junction. However, if there was interest in an area slightly too far to travel comfortably, we could always have inter-group 'cook-offs'. Any views, comments etc. welcomed.
