Recipes win raves

Grilled Buttermilk Chicken (August, page 84) was simply the best chicken I have ever tasted! Thank you for a fabulous recipe that our entire family loved to make and eat.

The August issue happened to arrive just before I left for the grocery store, so I took a quick look and spotted the Pluot Tart recipe (Best of the West, page 20). While in the produce section of the market, I bought some pluots. I made the tart that evening, and it was a big hit. I will make it again next week when my sister comes for Sunday brunch.

My friends and I created a Moroccan feast. One of the dishes I chose to prepare was the Lamb Chops with Moroccan Barbecue Sauce (June, page 162). I knew the sauce would be a hit before I could even taste it. A bee wandered into the kitchen, then another, and suddenly there were no less than eight bees hovering around this delightfully aromatic sauce! I cleaned up quickly after finishing the sauce, and they eventually left. The lamb chops were a huge hit. I'll definitely enjoy making this again, but I just may keep the windows closed.

Creating an entirely Moroccan meal turned out to be such a treat, from the food to the decor we created, as we sat on pillows around our coffee table.
