Local Old Town hosts and socialites Mary Frances and Jim Wood always put on a heck of a party when entertaining in their Duke Street home! In addition to be Old Towners, the Woods are 1/2 Texan so it’s natural for them go big when entertaining . . . and assembling a buffet.
(My Q & A with the Woods on Entertaining in Old Town + recipes coming soon!)
The Wood’s love to cook and are very good at it. When entertaining the they do the cooking themselves versus hiring a caterer. And if someone get’s asked to bring something, taking up precious space on the buffet table, you know it’s going to be good. Enter, Old Town notable Mary Sterling, and her Crab Dip.
Knowing we were going to feature a few recipes, Miles and I got to the Wood’s promptly so I could get photos. But, I had to do some clever angling to photograph the crab dip as it already had a big dent in it . . . and it went fast.
I was watching folks at the buffet. People would taste a bite. Then sneak in a few more bites while from the bowl before walking away with some on their plates. lol. Fresh and tasty with layers of flavor. And it looks pretty darn simple to make.
This dip would be equally great on game day or Christmas Day. But I don’t think I can wait that long! I’m cutting the recipe down for two and serving it to Miles with a Cesar salad and a movie for a stay at home date night!
Bon appetite! xxx – Jenjen (& Miles)
