What are great foods that you can make socially with friends who have hands? This is one thing that I love to be able to do, have people come to my kitchen and engage in the food-making process and then consume the rewards. I want to know if you have any ideas on things that are fun to make, but best made with many hands to help.
An excellent example are juicy lucys. You can assembly-line them out with two people and save a lot of time and have a lot of fun. Portion the meat, press the meat, stuff the patties, seal the patties, it is a fun way to hang out and make a bunch of stuff. That is actually one of my stand-bys for barbecues, have a friend over early to help me machine through those, then surprise people with them later.
Full disclosure, I am trying to assemble a zine with recipes of this sort. I am presently sitting on three things that work like this and looking for a good fourth (for recipes is much better than three, I think), so I am actively trying to poach your ideas! All of the zines I have made so far have been in collaboration, though, so if you have an idea I could steal it and write it up, or if you want to be a guest writer, I mean that works too, whatever. Or if you want me to keep my filthy hands off your recipe, that's cool.
Anyways, what do you have fun making in the company of others?
