Today we did a lunchtime tasting at Food and Wine Magazine. It was an informal occasion, we put up four plates of each course and everyone tasted and shared the plates amongst the group. We had a great time cooking and talking about food. Due to the group dynamic it was a very fast paced meal, six courses in less than an hour. Fortunately we were up to the task. We'd especially like to thank Ratha Tep for setting up the tasting and Grace and all of the other test kitchen staff members for so cordially allowing us to share their space for the occasion.
