Claude and Rita

1) Welcome to the inaugural posting of perhaps the finest food, wine, and entertainment blog on the world wide net. Here you will find not only the most wonderful cooking techniques and wine and food pairings, but also please find enclosed an entre into the difficult world of dinner party entertainment. How to get it right. How to know what is the best thing to do with difficult guests. How to throw together a dinner with only your wits, however galore. Perhaps most important, where to find live things to cook!
I am from a part of the world where every dinner, every opportunity to taste any little thing, is done with monumental class and discretion. Not to mention aplomb! Together with my esteemed colleague, Rita, we will scour the world for the final word on eating, but also drinking. And how Claude and Rita love to drink! We know wine, cordials, and after dinner liqueurs as well as others know carpets and baseball bats! Forgive my English. I have learned just enough to get me through last week only!
Rita shall add her unique introduction in only a matter of days. Can you wait? I know I cannot, though it does me no good. Yes!


Hola, bon jour and howdy! My name is Rita, the “Rita” part of “Cooking with Claude and Rita!”
My comrade has done a superb job giving you some insight into the wonderful world that we have found through our shared love of cooking, entertaining, and, of course, drinking! Together Claude and I have found unique and wonderful ways to not only create gastronomical wonders, but also a lifestyle.
Our motto is, “It’s not what you wind-up with in the end, it is how you got there and what happened to you as you were getting there!” This philosophy makes for infinite possibilities!
We invite you to share in our adventures. We promise to share with you helpful hints, mind blowing creations, and, yes, even a little magic now and again. We never know what’s going to happen! So please, join us as we set sail on this wonderful journey that is…Cooking, with Claude and Rita!
