Julia and I worked out the menu together, being sensitive to the various dietary restrictions of the guests. On the day of the party, Julia and her sous chef Frankie arrived early to my house to prepare, then prepared a delicious, healthy, gourmet, 4-course meal with a wonderful spiced mulled wine cocktail. Needless to say, my wife was thrilled and took down all of Julia’s recipes. We can’t wait to plan our next event with her again.
