How it all played out:

The second meeting of The Spice Sisters Society was a success! Thank you again to Marcelle for welcoming us into her beautiful home and hosting.

The Oprah Magazine Cookbook was in Marcelle’s personal collection but she had never cooked anything from it. This was a perfect opportunity to experience a few recipes at once. It was a great choice. I ended up purchasing it for only $5.00 on Amazon in case any fellow members want to pick it up.

We all chose very different dishes that complemented each other well and by chance we were able to create a well-balanced meal which was very nice.

Everything was delicious, however the one dish that we all loved and plan to make in the future is the Blueberry Buckle! Thanks Melissa! This dish was prepared in a pie pan but may also be prepared in individual ramekins. Unfortunately, Melissa learned the hard way that the time would be increased significantly and needed 45 minutes longer than it said for the ramekins! Thanks for sharing and now we know when we prepare it ourselves. It was delicious! 

For next time:

• The details for the April meeting are listed in a separate post.
• Please comment on the April meeting post the dish that you will be preparing.
• Remember to bring your containers again. It worked out perfectly.

A few details:

Thanks again ladies. I look forward to creating many memories with all of you and bonding over the love of cooking, food and girl time.

Date: April 9^th

Address: 9711 Brandybuck Dr. (Located in Highland Creek)

Time: 2:00pm-4:30pm

Desiree owns this book and said that although she cooks from another one of Ina’s books more frequently this is a great choice. This will be my first book by Ina so I’m really looking forward to it.  We all seemed kind of excited about this one! Trying so many of her recipes at once will be a treat.

Happy hunting for the BEST olive oil you can find and the BEST sea salt your budget allows so we can do Ina proud! LOL
