Monday night my house was filled with 15 people all willing to belly up to the bar and cook under the guidance of the professional chef. For 3 hours everyone (even the men in the crowd) chopped, mixed and seasoned while enjoying not only each other's company but Skinny Girl Margaritas.

Never forget the liquid encouragement.

If you ever wanted to throw a cooking party but wonder if it would work I tell you now - just do it. Monday night chicken fajitas and pineapple salsa never tasted so good!
