It's a half-baked idea I have floating around in my head so I'm open to suggestion.

I'm a pretty good cook. Not professionally trained or anything, but I love cooking for people, surfing epicurious.com for new recipes and watching the food network. I'm single and I live alone so when I do cook for myself, it's no fun....and none of my non-celiac friends are really running over to try my gluten-free matzo ball soup.

So I'm thinking, what if some of us got together and had a dinner party. Those of us who know how to cook will do most of the cooking. Those of us who either don't like to cook or don't know how can do other tasks like washing lettuce, trimming green beans, doing dishes or food shopping. Anyone who wants to learn how to cook could observe and help out. Maybe someone could "administrate": determine a budget, find a location etc. There's got to be a community center or something that could let us use their kitchen and dining room.

Or failing that, a pot luck supper at someone's apartment: everyone who cooks brings something and those of us who don't cook can bring wine or baked goods from Risotteria or Babycakes.

Any ideas? Anyone interested?
