We love to read Sophie Kinsella's books so when it was Skylar's turn to host book club she chose the author's latest novel, Wedding Night. While not everyone loved the book the food Skylar served, keeping with the book's Greek setting, got great reviews!
We started out the evening in the back yard since it was unseasonably warm for fall.
Ice cold Ouzo accompanied a variety of appetizers including dolmas,humus, garlic stuffed olives, and a fresh cucumber and mint Tzatziki sauce with toasted pita. Dolmas are stuffed grape leaves.
The star of dinner was the Spanakopita which is a delicious layering of phyllo dough, spinach and feta. A Greek salad was served alongside that consisted of fresh greens, feta, and vinaigrette.

Never to be out done Skylar made a dessert that left everyone speechless and not just because they could not pronounce the name! Galaktoboureko. A creamy custard baked in flaky phyllo dough and topped with a lemon and orange infused syrup. AMAZING!

We would also recommend other books by Sophie Kinsella including I've Got Your Number and Twenties Girl. These are easy reads when you just want to laugh and enjoy a book.
