No. YOU are FORKING FANTASTIC!

A little bit ago, aka a bunch of months, I get an email that led to a call with a casting agent in England which led to an "underground supper club" in Astoria (right around the corner from my apartment) hosted by the lovely and talented Tamara and Zora. Oh yeah there was some Jamie Oliver guy there too, but that was not the star of the nite.

The wholly unholy food these ladies produced drove me crazy. They had me at Candied Bacon but the rest of the meal was SPECTACULAR. After promising to keep in touch about my upcoming adventures with culinary school and to come back for another Sunday Dinner; I was sent on my way with a hug and a full stomach.

Needless to say, like almost everything in my life, I have not been able to keep those promise, but they have! Since that lovely meal the ladies have been kicking out amazing meals month after month. Yes I have been cooking up a storm, but checking out their menus always give me a kick. Now you can see a TON of the food they love to make in their very first COOKBOOK! How awesome is that?

Forking Fantastic! Put the Party Back in Dinner Party is a kick-ass guide to entertaining. That is the way they desribe it. Me, I say they are making throwing a great dinner party easy for the people that are too scared to get in their(in some times too small) kitchens. From baby steps to the big daddy menus, they guide you through every step and show you how badly you COULD have messed up by giving you little "learn from our mistakes" call outs.

The Tamara and Zora have just arrived home from a WHIRLWIND, Cross-Country book tour and have landed home with a menu this month that pulls from all the people and places they have seen along the way. The book is available NOW NOW NOW! Go get it off Amazon NOW! Go to the bookstore NOW! If you are not convinced that this book rocks, go to this website NOW!
