June’s Guest Test Kitchen comes from our friend Eric who also lives in Los Angeles. It’s always a delight to discover someone you’ve known for a while just happens to be a good cook. That’s precisely what happened in this case. Today, Eric shares a couple of dishes to make a full meal, complete with a refreshing summer cocktail.

What started as “Let’s make pom glazed salmon” turned into a full course meal with a cold drink to top it off. Sometimes we get so excited about the possibilities that we end up testing them all. That being said, an afternoon of phe-pom-enon was born! Oh, and did we mention we made a lightbox too? Truly pom-tastic.
