The white garlic sauce is apparently not too hard to make. There is a greek variant called skordalia that has a thickener like potato or breadcrumbs in it, and a lebanese variant called toum that has egg whites sometimes. Or just garlic, olive oil, lemon, and salt.
this looks phenomenal. i hate the word "potluck" (for reasons unknown), but please please let's have an "i'll-cook-and-you'll-cook" party and share lots of delicious foods. OM NOM NOM NOM.
Wow! Given how difficult it is to photograph food and make it look appetizing, this must have been phenomenolly gorgeous in person. It's almost enough to set aside my vegetarianism.
