Our First Event! Provincial Français

Welcome to the first event for South Bay Epicureans!

For this event, we will have a French country theme. I will be making Cassoulet. Cassoulet has been described as the ultimate comfort food. Each region has it's own variety, all claiming to be original. I will be using duck comfit and french sausge, and beans to make the dish. Cassoulet can take a full three days to cook, and is even better the next day.

Please bring your best complementary dishes. Enter your dish into the spreadsheet below. Plan the size of the dish to feed 6-8people. This will allow us to have more of a tasting menu and let everyone bring a dish without an overwhelming amount of food.

Other important information is as follows:

Alcohol: Alcohol is permitted but not provided. Bring your red or white wine to share. Or Cognac, it's up to you.

Ingredients: All ingredients allowed.

Cost: $10, non-refundable unless the event is cancelled or I move you to not going. Zelle/Paypal information will be sent when you are moved to going.

Location: Will be sent to guests 5 days prior to the event.
Cooking support: If you need to finish your dish on-site, I have a gas grill, oven, toaster oven, microwave, air fryer, and Instant Pot.

Guests: One guest is allowed. I would like to approve guests for this event to try to give all members a chance to come to the first event. I am confident we will have space for guests.

Music: I plan to highlight Keith Jarrett. You are welcome to express your musical tastes as well as food tastes. Bring CDs or a Bluetooth connection.
