Rachel Hahn: Top Chef in my heart

A few weeks ago (I know…late post), Rachel threw a dinner party that was simply divine.  Our wonderful hostess served Jolie, Camille, and I appetizers of baby mozzarella balls on a toothpick with grape tomatoes and freshly picked basil leaves.  These were delicious and refreshing; when we ran out we just went in her yard and picked more basil.  

      

As a person who intensely dislikes tomatoes, this is high praise indeed.  The only thing we had to look out for was exploding tomato guts.  Rachel also made us some lovely sangria with white wine and limoncello as well as mixed fruit.  It tasted great and we also got to munch on wine infused apples and strawberries as we drank. 

   

The main course was sooo delicious.  Rachel made naan pizzas topped with goat cheese, zucchini, and eggplant.  If that weren’t enough, she brought out parfaits in fancy wine glasses for dessert.  The parfait consisted of angel food cake topped with strawberries, blueberries and cool whip.  Rachel is a force to be reckoned with in the kitchen, she concocts original meals that are good and good for you.   Rachel truly is an all around food athlete.
