Recipes From Today’s Show: Cocktail Party
Today on MHTV: Today I’ve got my cousin Paul in the kitchen with me to help me get ready to put on a stylish and fun cocktail party. Sangria is a great serve-yourself party drink that’s great if you don’t want to get stuck behind a bar. Ours is made with Rose wine, brandy, fresh fruit and a bit of grapefruit juice for a colorful, delicious drink that can be made the morning-of. Braised Chorizo is cooked in some Rioja, a Spanish red wine, which makes for a juicy and flavorful bite. I’m also making a party favorite, Spinach-Artichoke Dip. Its gooey, cheesy and super decadent while roasted grape tomatoes are an easy accompaniment to goat cheese for a simple and elegant cracker-topper.

why is your recipe different then what ms scala did on t.v. ? On t.v. shew used canned artichoke hearts,and the zest of one lemon and the juice of one lemon. Which recipe should I follow?
I was wondering the same thing myself. Also, didn’t she put all of the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on top. And I don’t remember her using ricotta cheese. Did I miss something?
Never heard of a show where the demonstration differed from the recipe.
I agree with the comments made by Ann and Marsha. What gives? Also, when you click on the link for the recipe for the show, it actually brings up a recipe used from Whole Living from Healthy Dips menu, dated July 2006. This isn’t the recipe she made in the show – which is fine, but at least be consistent. If you’re going to use a different recipe in “print” – you should at least follow that recipe on the show itself.
Ann – if you click on the recipe, the other 4 lemons were used with the fresh artichokes when being boiled. She then only used one lemon within the dip itself and yes, she did use canned artichokes.
Marsha – That’s funny. I actually do remember her using ricotta cheese, but not any mayonnaise. I don’t know if I “missed” it, or it could be that the printed recipe calls for mayo, but the recipe she demonstrated on the show, was different. Oh well, looks good anyhow and I want some!!!!
I noticed the differences but as an intelligent adult, I can work it out. I would make it the way she did on TV. Why? because it’s easier and I’m all about easy (as is LSQ
Lucinda your cousin Tom is charming. Enjoyed your banter very much.
