On Saturday, I invited two friends over for our first recipe testing night. This is where I make a complicated meal that “I have always been meaning to try,” for some people and we see if it worked or not. I made Pistachio soup with stuffed lamp eggplants with pine nuts. We drank Pordere Ruggeri Corsini 2013. I haven’t had time to write up my notes and the recipe yet but both are from Jerusalem cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi
