« Just dessert | Main | $20,000 a year more for eggs » Tuesday, May 1, 2007A weekend of good foodOn Saturday, Stephen Meuse and I gave one of our quarterly seminars on food and wine to Boston Globe subscribers. Attendees eat and drink quite well; this time we did a spring menu based on butterflied leg of lamb. We also tell them what dinners at our house are like (we're married). I always wanted to be in show biz and Steve has a wry sense of humor, so the events are always great fun.
That evening, we went to a book party for Laura Shapiro, who has just written the biography "Julia Child." Shapiro grew up in Boston, now lives in New York, and was for many years the food reporter for Newsweek magazine. Globe Ideas columnist and blogger Jan Freeman and her husband, Paul Solman, hosted the party. I was delighted to see that Jan made my pasta and corn salad, a dish I once brought to a potluck lunch that she has been making ever since. On Sunday, we had dinner with Judith Barrett, a Food section contributor, who has a stunning aesthetic. Judith just finished an eight-part series called "Cooking Lessons From Rome," where she was living with her husband, David, for three months this winter. Judith baked bread, served a big plate of roasted vegetables for a first course, then braised rabbit with very thinly sliced potatoes, and her own sorbets and ring-shaped cookies for dessert. Her big airy kitchen is sleek and beautiful and the food rivals any oustanding Roman restaurant. Last night Steve and I popped out for a Cheap Eats review. This morning my trousers are nice and snug (in a bad way). Posted by Sheryl Julian at 12:08 PM
