My Cooking Club met last week. Once again we enjoyed delightful company and delicious dishes from our current cookbook, Peace Meals., by the Junior League of Houston. The surprising highlight for me was the Cauliflower Gratin. I have NEVER liked cauliflower - thought it smelled awful when it cooked and tasted bitter when eaten. This preparation, however, had a wonderful flavor. I'm planning to make it for my own family soon.
My assignment this month was salad. I chose to make a Roasted Beet and Blood Orange Salad. It was a nice mix of flavors and received favorable comments
Our main course was Autumn Braised Brisket. The meat was incredibly tender and very tasty
Susan's table looked so pretty - perfect for fall
For our dessert Ellen made this Apple Cranberry Galette. It was delicious - just the right amount of sweetness blended with the tart apples and the tangy cranberries
She topped each slice of the galette with fresh whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon - heavenly!

Sounds like a fabulous meal! I've made the Autumn Braised Brisket from Peace Meals and found it fabulous!
Yum!
How was the pannini? I am so glad you share this because although I have that book, I have not made too much from it yet. now I will proceed according to your reviews.
In fact, I have a dinner party for 12 in a week and a half...any suggestions?
Sounds delicious! I, too, have never been a fan of cooked cauliflower. I may have to look into that dish, though, since others in my family like it. Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Everything looks delish. I'm going to make your pasta soup tomorrow! :) Can't wait
How wonderful that meal looks!! I want to join your cooking club Eloise!! Unfortunately I live in NC, so that won't work:)! But I love your posts about it - very inspiring!

Wondering about the pannini as I have a fig tree...
