Court Bouillon Poached Prawns with Herb and Citrus Pistou
This recipe can also be found in our Appetizer Recipe Library!

Ingredients
Court Bouillon Prawns:
10 cups cold water
2 medium carrots, peeled and quartered
2 stalks celery, quartered
1 large onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved
1 lemon, halved
1/2 bunch parsley
5 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 pound medium (26-30 per pound) shrimp
Ice for an ice bath

Pistou (Makes 1 1/2 cups):
1 1/4 cups (fully-packed) fresh parsley leaves
1/3 cup oregano leaves
10 basil leaves
1/3 cup (1 ounce) freshly-grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
2 Tablespoons orange juice
1 large garlic clove, peeled
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Methods/Steps
Make Court Bouillon: Put the water, chopped vegetables, and herbs into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer, set a cover on top slightly ajar, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Clean Prawns: Using a pair of scissors or shrimp deveiner, cut a slit down the back of the prawns just deep enough to reveal the black vein. Peel the shell away (leave last knuckle and tail intact if possible), rinse shells and to the court bouillon for stronger shrimp flavor, if desired. Once all of the prawns are peeled and deveined, rinse well.

Poach Prawns: Drop the clean shrimp into the liquid and turn off the heat. Cook the shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they curl and turn pink, about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes (shrimp for cocktails should be cooked a little firmer than for hot dishes). Remove shrimp with a spider from the pot directly into an ice bath to chill.

Make Pistou: Place ingredients listed for the pistou in a food processor. Process until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Add more olive oil if you prefer a looser sauce. Pour into a small bowl for serving and garnish with herbs if desired.

Serve: Arrange a nice pile of shrimp on a platter. Nestle a small bowl or ramekin of the pistou into the pile of shrimp and serve.

Serves/Makes
Makes 26 30 prawns

Parties That Cooks Oscar Party Menu: Recipes Inspired by The 2013 Best Picture Nominees

This Sunday, February 24th, brings the 85th Academy Awards also known as The Oscars. Be excited.

This glamorous awards ceremony featuring iconic gold statues celebrates all things cinema. Along with the highly anticipated Red Carpet, a crucial component of any Oscar night is the assortment of extravagant after parties. But why let celebrities have all the fun? Host your own Oscar party! Whether you invite 3 friends or 300 strangers, (hey, it can happen, right?) this Oscar-worthy menu will make your bash the talk of the town. Paparazzi not invited.

These recipes can be scaled to feed a movie theater full of hungry cinephiles.
The fun part: each dish is inspired by one of the Best Picture nominees.

Amour Go ahead, fall in love with our mini Smoked Salmon Croque Monsieur Sandwiches. You dont need subtitles to understand that these crunchy little sandwiches are delicious! We foresee a long, happy life together.

Argo We bet the Canadian film crew wouldve loved these Middle East Nachos made of Baharat Spiced Beef on Pita Chips with Tahini Sauce. You know, if they didnt have bigger issues on their plates.

Beasts of the Southern Wild Breakthrough actress Quvenzhan Wallis was just 5 years old during filming. Her feisty character, Hushpuppy, deserves a dish that packs a punch: Cornmeal Hushpuppies with Jalapeno Marmalade.

Django Unchained While a Southern dish may have seemed like the clear choice here, we thought wed mix things up with a German nod to Djangos bounty hunting partner in crime (or justice?), Dr. Schultz. Staying true to German tradition, these Sweet Pea and Mint Pancakes are best served with Smoked Salmon and Sour Cream.

Les Misrables They probably wouldve titled this film Less Misrables had the characters been fortunate enough to stumble upon this recipe for Petites Pissaladieres: Miniature Onion and Black Olive Tartlets. YUM.

Life of Pi While I probably wouldnt enjoy being trapped on a tiny boat with a giant tiger, I would love to live a life of pies. Go savory with Mini Apple, Roquefort and Onion or satisfy your sweet tooth with Seasonal Fruit Potpies with Soft Whipped Cream.

Lincoln Lets take it back to the South with Crab and Roasted Red Pepper Beignets with Herbed Aioli. Consider these the perfect excuse to yell, Procure me those beignets!! Youre welcome.

Silver Linings Playbook Dont wake up your parents in the middle of the night. Dont fall prey to panic attacks. Dont become a grieving floozy. Do watch some football. Do take a dance class. Do make these deliciously saucy Philly Cheese Steak Bites.

Parties That Cooks Valentine Dessert Recipe: Decadent Chocolate Stout Cupcakes

Happy Valentines Day! Your dinner reservations may be set, but remember to leave room for dessert! Boy, have we got the perfect Valentines Day recipe for couples or those flying solo: decadent chocolate cupcakes. With stout in the batter and porter in the frosting, there is no down side. And trust us, making the chocolate bubbles will sweeten your sweethearts day andearn you extra points.

Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Porter Frosting and Chocolate Bubbles
This recipe can be found in our Dessert Recipe Library!

Ingredients
Cupcake Batter:
1/2 cup stout, such as Guinness (let foam subside when measuring)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
6 Tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 egg
6 Tablespoons sour cream
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup bitter sweet chocolate chips

24 cup mini muffin tin pan lined with paper liners

Porter Frosting:
1 cup porter, flavored porters work well
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Chocolate Bubbles:
1 cups bittersweet chocolate chips, about 6 ounces
1 x1 piece of bubble wrap, washed and dried thoroughly

Methods/Steps
Preheat oven to 350F.

Heat Stout-Cocoa Mixture: Bring stout and butter to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Heat until butter is melted. Add cocoa powder and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.

Mix Wet Ingredients: Using a stand or hand mixer with a large bowl, mix the eggs and sour cream until blended. Add stout-cocoa mixture to egg mixture and beat just to combine.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat briefly on slow speed. Add the chocolate chips and switch to a rubber spatula and fold batter until completely combined.

Bake Cupcakes: Line the muffin tins and fill them 2/3 full, about 1 tablespoon. Bake cupcakes until tester inserted into center of cakes comes out clean, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tin onto cooling rack and continue to cool completely.

Reduce Porter: In a small saucepan set over medium heat, bring the porter to a low boil. Reduce the porter to about 3 tablespoons, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

Beat Frosting: With a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter and the reduced porter until it is light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar cup at a time until it thickens and is smooth.

Melt Chocolate: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the chocolate in a bowl or double boiler. Turn off the flame and set the bowl over the steaming water (make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl). Alternatively, place the chocolate into a stainless steel bowl and place into a low oven until melted. Once melted, stir to mix and remove from heat and let cool until cool to the touch but still pourable.

Mold Chocolate: Place the bubble wrap onto a sheet pan or plate that fits into the refrigerator or freezer. Pour the cooled melted chocolate onto the center of the bubble wrap. Using an offset spatula, gently and evenly spread the chocolate onto the bubble wrap. You do not need to fill entire piece of bubble wrap, just spread evenly. Place the chocolate into the refrigerator or freezer until hard. When hard, break the chocolate into 48 bite size pieces (big enough that you can tell it is bubble wrap but small enough to fit on the cupcake and handle as little as possible).

Frost Cupcakes: Frost each cupcake with the porter frosting. Top each cupcake with a piece of the molded chocolate or some chocolate shavings*.

*Chocolate Shavings: Use a vegetable peeler to slice ribbons or strips from a slightly warm block of good-quality chocolate (heat in microwave or warm oven for 5-second intervals, checking after each, until just warm to the touch; do not overheat). To produce tight curls, start from the far edge of the chocolate and move the peeler toward you. You can even shave the curls right onto the frosted cupcake.

Serves/Makes
Makes 24 mini cupcakes

Parties That Cooks Date Night: Couples Cooking through the eyes of a staff member

On a Friday afternoon, I arrived at Dacors kitchen showroom to help prep the kitchen, greet our guests and ensure drinks flowed.It was the first Date Night cooking class of the new year, I was new to the Parties That Cook team, and this was my first experience withtheir hands-on cooking events. Date Night with Parties That Cook is a couples cooking class, but from what I saw, it could be better than couples therapy.

Guests began trickling in a few minutes before 6 pm, many coming directly from work, all hungry and eager to start cooking. The attendees checked in, suited up in Parties That Cook aprons and mingled with other attendees chefs-in-training.

The lead chef (Executive Chef, Tanya) gathered the group in the kitchenfor an introduction and cooking demonstration. Tanya shared tips and tricks of the trade with a captivated audience. As they listened intently to the instructions, guests stood with arms draped over their partners shoulders.The couples seemed excited to be there, ready to cook together, meet new people, and have funexcept for one.

This particular duo came in when the cooking demo was already underway. Unlike the other couples, they didntsmile when I greeted them. They stood behind the crowd, she with her arms folded across her chest and lips pursed. He also appeared distant and disinterested. Watching them, all I could think was, Wow, its going to be a long night for these two.

After the demo, the group broke into teams to begin working on the evenings small plates recipes. Chefs circled the floor happy to help if and when questions arose.Most attendees were fairly new to cooking and delighted by the process. Still, I couldnthelp but focus on the averse couple.To my surprise, they had begun to warm up. We really mean it when we say youll heat up the kitchen at Date Night.

As the night progressed, wine was flowing, new friends were made and delicious dishes were coming together. I found the originallyhesitant couplesmiling and even laughing together. Date Night with Parties That Cook must have been just what the doctor ordered! They ended up having a wonderful time, and even bid us farewell with huge thanks, full bellies and smiles on their faces. Several couples exchanged phone numbers and think a few may have even gone out for drinks following the class. An excellent evening, indeed.

Working the event was fun; almost as entertaining as participating as a guest! This, I found out two weeks later when I took the class with my spouse. Stay tuned for a second Date Night blog, written from the perspective of an attendee (me!).

Parties That Cook Reflects on the Top 12 Accomplishments of 2012

We managed to survive the madness of the holidays, only to find ourselves waist-deep in January events! Just as we did last year, were about to dive into Parties That Cooks Top Accomplishments of 2012.

1. Broke our Own Records. In 2012, we hosted our largest event to-date (can you even picture 213 guests?!) and laterbooked our largest event to-date. This January, well be sure to welcome all 275 guest with open arms!

2. Launched New Events. 2012 brought the almost accidental development of Cooking with Kindness, a corporate event where groups come together in the kitchen of a local family shelter to cook for, serve, and dine alongside its residents.

3. Became a Certified Women-Owned Business. Thats right. Not only is PTC founder and CEO, Bibby Giginilliat, a woman (surprise!), she also passed the rigorous application process and proved herself as visionary of the company.

4. Hosted another Successful Womens Initiative Fundraiser. We are on a roll, folks! Cooking up Success for Womens Initiative has surely taken off.Raising $17,500 is nothing to be ashamed of!

5. Celebrated Birthdays and Birth Days. Not only did we host awesome birthday celebrations (per usual), but we also welcomed 2 new little guys to the PTC family! HUGE congratulations to Erin and Rosie!

6. Grew like Crazy in Multiple Markets. Talk about a growth spurt!When 68% growth (Chicago) isnt the biggest change youve seen, you know youre doing something right. Hello, 675% growth in Portland!!

7. Cooked up Romance. Weve conquered Date Night proposals in 2011, so we thought wed challenge ourselves with Singles. Who better to partner with, running approx. 30 events in 3 cities, than Match.com?

8. Won Awards and Made Headlines. We were awarded 63 on the list of Fastest Growing Small Businesses by the San Francisco Business Times and earned a spot on the Inc. 5005000 List of Americas Fastest Growing Private Companies for the first time! Man, it feels good to be a baller. Were proud to say we were featured in Crains Chicago Business for the first time. See it for yourself here.

9. Worked on Cohesion within Our Team. A series of workshops with facilitator, Abby, raised our corporate and personal consciousness. Things have never been smoother.

10. Positioned PTC to Make BIG Moves in 2013. Remember how we moved Carolyn to Portlandia to manage the NW territory? Talk about a good move! We also hired some amazing new office talent, AND managed to let go of bulk. We have officially embraced our new mantra: less is more.

PhillyCheese SteakBites with Peppadew Peppers
This recipe can also be found in our Appetizer Recipe Library

Ingredients
Steak:
1 pound piece of flank steak, trimmed of fat, semi frozen if possible
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large leeks, whites only, sliced thin and washed
3 garlic cloves, minced
10 peppadew peppers, halved and thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, divided

Gruyere Cheese Sauce:
1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Crostini:
1 baguette, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Methods/Steps
Butterfly and Slice Meat: Lay the steak on a work surface. Press one hand flat on the meat to steady it. Using a long, sharp knife, butterfly the flank steak. Open the flank steak like a book then cut it all the way through into two thin pieces. Turn the thin pieces of steak so the grain runs from left to right. Slice the meat into strips about 2 inches long and as thin as possible (semi frozen meat will help get a very thin slice). Season the sliced meat well with half of the salt and all of the pepper. Set aside.

Slice Aromatics: Cut the dark green end off of the leeks. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise through the root and then slice into 1/4 inch half moons. Place leeks in a bowl full of water and agitate well to remove any sand. The sand will sink to bottom of bowl. Leave leeks in the water until next step. Finely mince the garlic and set aside. Halve the peppadew peppers and thinly slice as well. Set aside.

Cook Aromatics: Heat a large saut pan over high heat. Add half of the oil to the pan. Lift the leeks from the water and add to the hot saut pan. Add the rest of the salt to the pan and saut until they start to caramelize a bit, 2-3 minutes. Add in the garlic and continue to saut for another 30 second to 1 minute. Add half of the vinegar and mix well. Turn off heat and stir in the peppers. Divide the leek mixture into two bowls. One bowl is for garnish the other is used in the next step. Reserve the saut pan.

Cook Steak: Add the other half of olive oil to the same saut pan and place back onto high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the steak slices and stir fry steak until it starts to look cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Add half of the cooked leek mixture back into the pan and continue to cook steak until all liquid evaporates. Add the other half of the vinegar and cook steak until it turns golden on some edges, about 1 minute. Keep steak warm until ready to assemble bites or re warm before assembly.

Grate Cheese: Use a box grater to grate both cheeses into a bowl. Set aside.

Make Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a heat proof rubber spatula mix in the flour to create a roux and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The roux will look like a small ball of dough. Slowly whisk in the milk, and cook, whisking often until it boils and thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the Gruyere and Parmesan until combined; season with the salt and pepper. Taste and re season if necessary. Keep warm until ready to use or re warm before assembly.

Make Crostini: Brush the bread slices on one side with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and cook until the slices are golden around the edges and crisp, about 10-15 minutes.

Assemble Bites: Re-warm steak and sauce if necessary. Working on the sheet pan of crostini, divide the steak mixture evenly among the crostini, about 2 -3 pieces of steak per crostini. Place a teaspoon or so of sauce on top. Garnish each bite with a teaspoon of the reserved leek mixture. Transfer bites to a platter and serve immediately.
