Vodka Paloma #RSC
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Ready, Set, Cook! We are challenging each other in one of my favorite cooking groups, to create recipes using a restricted ingredients list (and nothing that is not on the ingredients list) and then have a face-off of recipes among friends. Sound like fun? It is!
We’ve been playing since our mob was encapsulated inside the community at the old Recipezaar. After the forums there went *kaput* we found new digs elsewhere.
All right Sparky, here’s the deal!
Divided into three rounds. May submit up to one recipe per category.
Must use at least one thing from the mains list, and as many from the pantry list, but nothing else.
