Cooking Party at the Mountain Winery

I received a phone call from a caterer I had met asking..."Are you free to photograph a cooking party?" Now being a total Food Network Junkie, I was intrigued and happy that I was free on the date of the party.

I had never been to a cooking party before and was definitely wondering what would happen....and would I get some of the food? The party was at the Mountain Winery and was being catered by Cuisine Style by Pamela Keith.



The clients from Barracuda Networks arrives with excitement and a little apprehension about the cooking party. The clients were broken into teams and told that their secret ingredient was Pizza Dough! Everyone was going to grill their own pizzas and be judged just like on Iron Chef. Each team would get to choose their own toppings from a huge selection of fresh ingredients.




Then each team would roll out their dough and grill one side before topping it and finish cooking it on the grill.







Teams then showed off their final pizzas for the judging.




And posed for photos with their creations.



And the winning team is.....




And if winning wasn't enough, each person got a bag of cookies to take home compliments of Cuisine Style by Pamela Keith.


If you get a chance to have anything from Cuisine Style by Pamela Keith, jump right in and don't hold back. I was lucky enough to get a pizza for myself and I have to say it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had!

Kickin' it with the kids

With Mother's Day right around the corner...tomorrow in case some of you forgot...I thought I would highlight a great gift that was given to a Mom (and Grandma)!

As a present to their Mom, her two sons got their families together for pictures with Grandma. It was a great session and tons of fun.



The twins were just adorable...


...but their brother made sure that we all were having a great laugh too!


Don't worry...we got the "behaving" picture too.


And not to be out done by their cousins...the girls were perfect angels.


Mostly....

But being outside at such as great location as Gamble Garden Center in Palo Alto kept the smiles coming.


So if you get a chance, head over to the park and enjoy the scenery...and the people watching.
