First, there are so many tangible benefits. More hands working in the kitchen makes cooking faster and easier. When you cook in large quantities with friends, you are able to quickly stock your freezer and pantry. People who cook together learn each others’ culinary skills and cultural history, and encourage each other to try new things. But we love Cooking With Friends most because of the intangible benefits. It gives us time to have real conversations and get to know each other better. It makes cooking a more social, less solitary endeavor. It helps us connect or reconnect with people.

So many of you loved our Autumn Soup, that the word got out. Check out the Suzy Said site, which is featuring our soup as the recipe of the week: http://www.suzysaid.com/index.php?page=stories&family=foodies&display=3774
While you're there, make sure you take a look around. It's a useful site run by some very smart women.
