Wine marinated chicken taco bites
Wine marinated chicken taco bites turned out to be such fun little bites, and a great snack to serve, with wine perhaps? Though not traditionally used in a marinade, wine adds nice flavour to meats. It acts as a tenderizer too of course, the acidic component in wine replacing or adding to vinegar or lime juice. Experimenting is always good, and this was real fun. I decided to do mini tacos as finger food. There's something about small portions that is very charming!

Green Bean Potato Salad
It's the passion, the energy, the enthusiasm, the free spirited and relaxed young chef who greets you. The emotions are infectious and before you know it, the charismatic Maurizio Raselli casts a spell over you. From there he effortlessly leads you into his chamber {read private kitchen, with a large beautiful window, well lit and fully equipped} for a therapeutic, unwinding, endlessly entertaining and interactive Italian cooking session. That's what Camp Charmaine was about!
