Dinner Party I: Codfish with Herbed White Wine Sauce

I haven't had much experience cooking. When I was growing up, I didn't have to take care of meals, and I don't have much motivation to try and cook an entire meal while I'm living on my own. I thought that it would be a fun project to set up some dinner parties with friends, and use the opportunity to test out some new recipes. This Saturday, I had my first dinner party!
These recipes are all from Martha Stewart's webpage. Without further ado, here are the recipes, along with my thoughts about making the dishes.
Saturday, April 16
Guests of Honor: Monica and Michael
The main dish was codfish with a white wine sauce, which was complimented by a mixed vegetable dish and a side of potoatoes.
