  • Rites and Bites of Passage. A Daughter’s Sparkly Shower!

Rites and Bites of Passage. A Daughter’s Sparkly Shower!

Misc. / July 24, 2015

Delicious quinoa, roasted garbanzo beans and greens salad at Townhouse in Birmingham, MI.

I can credit my mother for several things that have come in very handy throughout my life:  I know how to assert myself graciously but effectively, I know how to chew gum in public, and I know how to tie a fabulous bow. The latter came in very handy two weeks ago when I helped “assemble” my daughter’s dress for her fancy bridal shower. Accompanying the silk sash was a huge, rhinestone broach whose filagreed petals turned a plain bodice into a fabulously sparkly canvas for celebration and reflection. And even with all this glitter around us, what did the party planners worry about the most? Yes, the meal.

We spent a week meeting the family, eating amazing meals, and visiting old friends. And each of those events took place around a table. With that said, I thought the trip was worthy of a blog post, and a few photos. Why?

Well, let’s face it. You can only be poetic about how flour and eggs go into a bowl for so long and then you need a little variety. Is our plate not the horizontal sphere that showcases our love for others? Do we not anticipate each holiday or celebration with musings over who makes the best potato salad or the lightest, fluffiest rolls? Over the last month, we have been eating out more than in. Paying a bill after the meal, as opposed to cleaning up the kitchen. But there are still a few pictures that have marked the moments. Here is a sampling of some of those feasts, snacks, and desserts from our week in Detroit!

Hi! I'm Camine Pappas

I have a deep desire to radically transform our everyday approach to cooking by insisting we view the process through a lens of gratitude and wonder.
I help you master and interpret the short-list of core techniques and processes you will need to begin achieving culinary success so everyone wearing an apron can find a way to make friends with the science of cooking and fall in love with all its possibilities.

Let's think about food preparation as art, and flavors as adventurous stories. Say ‘goodbye’ to safe sequences, or copycat flavors, and use your senses to curate the perfect meal. My recipes help your kitchen come to life as I share anecdotes about food chemistry, and fun shortcuts that conquer menu-mediocrity. my cooking style is one that combines everyday ingredients into sensuous layers that wake up the bored palate as I reveal easy-to-understand tips, tricks, and hacks so everyone can prepare and serve Bling Cuisine with confidence and joy!
