The first dinner

So…better late than never? We actually had our dinner 2 weeks ago and I have been promising to put the pictures and recipes up since then. But if you look through the blog, you’ll see that I’ve been busy cooking and drinking. :)

The first dinnerWhere’d this idea come from? Actually, a suggestion of someone very close to me. She became frustrated, after trying to get me to repeat something I’ve made for her, and all I could say was, “I don’t remember what I did.” Well, this is my version of my rolodex of recipes, some my own and some I’ve gotten from books and sites. Hopefully, this will help me keep track of things and actually help some readers see that it’s not too tough to cook.

Here’s the first dinner menu. It’s a collection of some of Nobu’s recipes with some tweaks and the dessert piece is my own. I hope you enjoy!

Here are the pics from the dinner.
