My brother got Pip some dice for Christmas 2011 that look like this...


Naturally, he decided to throw a dinner party...well two. 

The Basic Idea

1) Find some friends that like to cook

Round 1



Round 2




2) Roll the Dice and make some Awesome YouTube Videos for invites



3) Display the ingredients as an ice breaker and creative decor


4) Eat the Food

Round 1


Panzanella Salad with Beets, Fennel, Tomato, Turips


Lentils and Root Vegetables with Rutabaga Mash in Red Wine Reduction


Lemon Cake with Rosemary
