I happened upon this recipe when I attended an event at My Cooking Party. My Cooking Party is a cooking school that hosts hands on cooking parties. You know, stuff that you have to cook yourself.

On arrival my group and I were greeted with appetizers, beer and wine, while three chefs worked on more appetizers in the background.

Roasted Okra

Written by Viella

Roasted okra is such a simple appetizer or side dish, it would be foolhardy not to add it to your menu, when you next have folks visiting. Preparation and cooking is quick and easy, allowing you to lay your concentration on the more labor intensive dishes on your menu. You may be asking, what makes roasted okra such a slam dunk for serving to guests? Well, first, as I said, they are so easy to prepare, and second, they look beautiful just sitting there on a plate or in a bowl dressed in nothing but a little oil and coarse ground salt.

Lime Laced Brussels Sprouts

Written by Viella

Today’s recipe is lime laced brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts sautéd in grape seed oil, doused in lime juice and topped with lime scented ricotta – yum!

Brussels sprouts are all the rage right now. You will be hard pressed not to see them on a restaurant menu these days. My family and friends have caught the bug, and they have become mine and my niece’s alternative to fries. So I thought it time to post another brussels sprouts recipe.

Tamarind Chicken Wings

Written by Viella

Game day just isn’t game day without chicken wings. But if you try this recipe, be careful, they may distract your guests from the game. Tamarind chicken wings are the best. Their tasty crispiness runs a very close second to the sticky awesomeness of the slightly spicy tamarind sauce. You and your guests will be licking lips and fingers as you take chunks out of these bad boys.
