Happy New Year! January 1, 2007
Made a 6 course raw tasting dinner for the New Year’s Eve celebration. This is the first time I’ve ever served an entirely raw meal, I really enjoyed it, for one, there was no heat in the kitchen, and I wasn’t burnt up by the end of the night!
Here is the menu:
Beet/Green Apple/Pear/Ginger/Cinnamon/Sake Cocktail
Pineapple/Lemongrass/Champagne/Sake Cocktail
Frozen Green Grapes/Champagne Cocktail
Lavender and Lemon Ice Tea
Home Ground Whole Hard Winter Wheat with Date and Walnut Bread (not raw)
Cream of Coconut, Avocado and Carrot Soup
Rosemary and Thyme Marinated Wild Mushroom and Asparagus with Lemon Cream and Fig Balsamic Vinegar Sauce
Beet Ravioli Stuffed with Tarragon and Parsley Cashew Cheese with Yellow Bell Pepper Sauce
Oregano Scented Zucchini and Tomato Lasagna with Pine Nut Cheese, Sun Dried Tomato Sauce, and Pistachio Basil Pesto
Lemon Sorbet with Lavender Syrup
Lavender Raw Ice Cream with Bing Cherry Sauce and Home Made Raw Spiced Oatmeal Raison Cookie
Did I mention I didn’t use dairy nor sugar, and nothing is heated above 108°F? But I forgot to take pictures of the dishes… oh, well…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
