Potluck! Desserts!

Yesterday we had a potluck at work, preceding a night of drinking. My coworkers are excellent and inspirational cooks.

There were Cajun samosas, various crostinis and crackers with dips and cheeses, and Grace's stuffed mushroom caps, Setareh's eggplant dish-that-she-forgets-the-name-of-but-it's-her-favourite with sangak (delicious Persian flatbread), Mauve's swirly mushroom pastry thingees, and Jan's amazing spinach salad with radicchio, pear and goat brie. These ladies are my inspiration to be a better cook.

Later: three desserts! The decadent vegan Scrabble cake by Claudia that I 'helped' make on Wednesday night, followed by the best (cognac) crème brûlée I've had at The Whip and thirdly, another Claudia creation, a delicious brownie cheesecake. Overall, a gloriously overindulgent night of food.
