As a cocktailian and culinarian, one of the greatest challenges one can face is to be ‘Iron Cheffed.’ To produce a collection of dishes that include alcohol in their preparation, without prior knowledge of the specific ingredients is a test of one’s understanding of the particular subject. Add to this the impetus that the recipes should be easy to recreate for anyone and this test certainly can make one’s head spin.
This was the challenge, recently and we had fun producing a six-course meal for our ‘kith-and-kin’ (a Kentuckianism for ‘friends and family.’) The evening began at 8:30 and didn’t end until 4 in the morning. Personally, I will remember this meal for the rest of my life- not for the work, but for the pleasure. The sweat truly paled in comparison to the laughing camaraderie of people who I love.
