If you like gourmet food but like as many folks these days, live within a restrictive grocery budget, you might like to give some thought to a Gourmet Club such as the one presently operating in Goderich and area. Last Saturday evening, the ch b ended its second successful year with a, Swiss theme in 'the garden at the home of Paul and Mary Carroll. The focus was on fondues at this particular gathering with plenty of variety in cheese, quite naturally. The idea for the Gourmet .Club was born in the mind of Mrs. Don McKee, Benmiller. Mrs. McKee admits she was impressed by. the Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr who' appears regularly on television. "I guess you could say he was my inspiration," said Mrs. Mc ee. Mrs. Neil Shaw, 190 Wilson Street, approved Mrs. McKee's brainwave 'and then there were two women thinking and planning for a club which would bring -At -AY W.10pf;$.ovc eat tkgx-lo� tTieir own dining rooms. ' At the present time, there are four couples involved in the club -T the McKees, the Carrolls, the Shaws and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wark, Ridgewood Park. "We used to have five couples," mused ' Mrs. McKee. "That was ideal. Since the host couple has , the privilege of inviting two guests, it makes a. dinner party for ' 12. That's ;about right "• A The club operates monthly, essentially in the winter -- from January through .May. This year., because of the "long, snowy Winter y the meetings didn't get .' underway until February which accounts for' the June dinner.' Each couple entertains the group once in a season, The hostess has her choice of theme for the dinner and she provides the setting, the wine and part of the: main' course, usually the meat and perhaps the rolls. The other couples involved bring, the salads, the vegetables, the desserts- and any other complimentary dishes" necessary to the meal, all in keeping with the theme chosen by, the hostess;,: of course. • A large part of the fun comes from:, the research and study which goes into the preparation Goderich's only Gourmet Club held its final, meeting of the season last Saturday evening at the of authent=ic foods from other •lands - he cooklc-lse0.6s_-of---_...-�Yhome.•«ioLP...aul and Mary-Cararoll. -lAt.i.lson-Street„ The gr -for -.•for -reed two years ago and enjoy -fine, Gourmet Graham Kerr are a big help 'here, it should be noted, and several of his fabulous dishes have turned up on the Goderich Gourmet Club's dinner tables , from timto time. :Cmiso i 4014, ,4f v w4 at8Q wM x spa ,,���� 1, �rx ..�c,�1i/iC1 .a1d0r�. -$!�.�'#�!fl"ttrf�Q1Q,�:i6l�iltNiGt.�ta� :: r�/J$1`aRy�,�.%}y���..%iBStikBSt#�r�.wl�',.•x,'�h� � �. +� � Srt� 1'� �I1�0�tLt��d�'IC1� • ore ' sw ttimert'fro au'ear iiiaktii S u*discoire"ittill '" '' 'distvuss' hst- they• {eairrred.~the ;'day before and a period of when they turn up fo-r them swimming lesson at Judith f tri -the -water training (bottom) When their school teacher, Mrs. Gooderham Park.

"It is. an 'economical way to enjoy gourmet eating," said Mrs. McKee. Dinner usually begins about 7 p.m. and is terminated about 10:30 p.m. In this way, members who have'` other commitments in an evening can easily keep both appointments. Mrs. Shaw finds that she is more adventurous: in her own cooking every --day in her home' since she has become interested in gourmet dishes. She says she experiments with a variety of herbs and wines in her cooking and finds they really do add zest to food. Saturday,' evening's dinner began with a cheese fondue made by Mrs. McKee . She started, the mixture in a double boilr. The recipe included one bottle of sauterne, a white wine which was warmed in the double boiler. One,pound- of Swiss cheese and one pound wwri•.' A e,. w 'N w .&�.a�nv 1Wa•�.'w• of guryere cheeseas grated into large ,pieces and mixed with a half cup of ,flour and a few dashes of nutmeg.' It was added very gradually to the warm sauterne. Salt and pepper may be added to taste. If the mixture becomes a little thick, more warm wine can be used to thin it to the proper consistency, says Mrs. McKee. The mixture is then placed in a fondue pot which has been rubbed with garlic and kept warm over a ggntle flame. Cubes 'of French bread are then dipped into the cheese fondue and enjoyed along With. a variety of salads and relishes. The maih course consisted of cubes of beef cooked ill fondue pots and eaten . with a wide variety of sauces — a delightful bernaise sauce, a zesty tomato sauce, a sauce made with sour cream, horseradish and chives, a sweet and sour sauce and a curt~ sauce. Also served were potatoes: baKe'd`iii -cheese-arfd-edle--slaw: ,....,i.+...ir. us4.xrt......i4nvevh`mtm.�.x t Dessert was; contributed b Mrs. Shaw and it was a 'delicate 'Chocolate • Mousse. which provided' just the right topping for a Swiss dinner. -. • Mrs. Shaw used one package of chocolate chips „which was melted over hot but not boiling water. After removing the melted chocolate from the heat she beat in six egg yolks and her favorite ' flavoring, either two teaspoons of vanilla or one a tablespoon of rum. The mixture was stirred well to distribute the variety of flavors: Then the •six egg whites were beaten until they, were still but. not dry and folded' into the .chocolate mixture. It was 'spooned into, dessert glasses, covered and left to stand overnight in the refrigerator. Just' before serving, the mousse, was topped with whipped cream andl.or chocolate curl's made by . shaving„slivers from, a square of unsweetened chocolate. The. finale Auer. was coffee and "I used his recipe for Paella when 'we had our 'Spanish night,” said Mrs:,McKee. There has also been a/Chinese night, , an Italian. night, an ,English night, a -French night, a Polynesian night and a Western night when steaks were, cooked in a gigantic pit on the .beach. "And we had a Nova Scotian night," recalled Mrs. McKee, "with alLkinds of fish including rainbow trout which I caught_ myself." The hostess attempts to decorate her table in keeping with her theme and members of the, ~club occasionally strive to come dressed in costumes native to the country from which the recipes are being borrowed. marvellous way to enjoy a night out, exciting Tood-and stimulating company is not costly, either. According to Mrs. food prepared with a flair once monthly during the winter and spring months. Here some of the guests enjoy the salad tableand the '°selection of domestic and, imported wines on hand for the 4 occasion.
