Supper Club  - By Lara Williams

This week’s Novels & Nibbles serves up Supper Club, a sharp, darkly funny novel about two women, Roberta and Stevie, who start hosting these secret dinners in their apartment. It’s not a polished dinner party with matching napkins and polite portions. It’s more like a delicious uprising where women do not have to feel they must eat lightly, speak softly, or take up as little space as possible. Here, they revolt in the most deliciously defiant way. Women are invited (sometimes loosely, sometimes spontaneously), and everyone contributes food or helps cook. The kitchen becomes a kind of stage that is messy, loud, wine-soaked where the usual rules get tossed out with the dishwater.

This recipe straight out of the pages of Supper Club… Fish Cakes. Two unapologetically generous fish cakes that are thick with wild-caught cod, green onions, and soft folds of mashed potato stitched together with sour cream, sharp mustard, and a scatter of fresh parsley. Rolled in seasoned panko and pan-fried until the outside gives a golden, defiant crunch that refuses to be delicate. The cakes are set over peppery arugula and roasted asparagus and tossed in a bright lemon vinaigrette.

Come.  Eat them hot. Eat them loudly. No one here is counting bites. Have as much as you want!
