With the addition of the photos from this weekend's menu tasting, the Appeteasers website is nearly finished. In the meantime, this blog has been created to provide a sneak peek, while hopefully gaining feedback from the attendees.
Thank you again to Lori and Ken Pollock for inviting the guests, and thank you to everyone who accepted their invitation. It was lovely to meet all of you, and there is nothing I enjoy more than cooking for friends and family!
Please do not hesitate to share your comments and suggestions about the food (see survey below photos) or the business, I am always open to new ideas and ways to create delicious food.
