The Annabel Experience.....

DVD Playing in the background!
   Here we are!  Inspired by Annabel's magnificent recipes, the gang got together to create the "Annabel Experience!"  It was a magical night of beautiful food and wonderful friendship.  Everyone nominated a dish they wanted to make from Annabel's "The Free Range Cook" book and the results were nothing less than sensational.  We all just made enough for the 22 of us present to sample the dish.  With 14 courses it was truly a night of gastronomic proportions and at the conclusion everyone agreed that it was just superb!  So the dishes were all listed, some were paired up to be served together but most were just a dish on their own to be savored and enjoyed.  All the courses were photographed on their own and then with their creator for the sole purpose of being posted here on the blog.  Thanks to everyone who made the night so special!  Without further ado, here we go with the story of the Annabel Experience.........
