Successful Lao Dinner

Saturday, September 19, 2015, we came back from a travel hiatus of two years and with the help of hosts Colleen & Stephanie, threw a Lao inspired dinner party!   Seven guests--some new and some returning--enjoyed a 4 course dinner party.  On my trip to Luang Prabang, I fell in love with their cuisine, their country and their people.  We recreated a dinner I had there with great success!

While one can never recreate a dish exactly, these are close to the memories I have of one great meal:

STARTERS 

* Charred Tomato-Shallot Dip

*Charred Eggplant-Herb Dip

*Seaweed Chips with Gomasio

2nd COURSE
