If you happened to be in Atlanta at AmericasMart last month I was part of a very fun event called Shop The Show, where I joined three of my fellow stylish friends: House Seven Design, Monika Hibbs and Sugar and Cloth. Each one of us had a special event on one of the main stages, for me it was a cooking demo in one of the cooks kitchens. Let me tell you what a blast and such a great crowd showed up to see me whip up two of my favorite summer entertaining recipes. One was this yummy Rosemary Margarita, paired with the most delicious appetizer, my Goat Cheese + Pistachio + Honey dish. It’s sure to WOW your guest. Together they are the perfect pair. Go ahead and put these in your back pocket when it comes to entertaining next time. You will not be disappointed.
