Royal Wedding Menu, Recent Catering and Survivor Finale!



A rare moment just for the halibut! Harrison, Bill and I were addicted to Survivor this season - here is Halibut three ways on finale night. One with lemon, asparagus and capers, the second with a hearty Indian curry spice, and the third with Lime and fresh red chili.











Another variation on the bread / pizza crust recipie. Here is a focaccia dough, stuffed with corn, black beans, tomatoes and salsa. Folded over top like a big perogy!




I love to do double batches of food we are already eating and pass it on to friends! Here is a catering I did recently for a friend's busy weeknights. A double of our focaccia, some curried chickpea and lentils with lemon-poached cauliflower, and in the back is a white bean cassoulet with braised celery.


I have been loving the addition of fresh chopped greens to any saucy dish. Here, an indian curry gets mixed with fresh green onions - and they turn a vibrant emerald! Lots of active enzymes, oxygen and chlorophyll.












Two words - ROYAL WEDDING! I just couldn't get enough. Here is a lunch sandwich, with some avodaco, fresh tomato pureed with garlic and some veggie bacon.
















William's fave dessert is reportedly Eton Mess - a layered dessert of vanilla whipped cream, fresh berries, raspberry sauce and meringue. NOT VEGAN, but delicious. Served in my great grandmother's teacups. Berries only for Bill in the background.













Oeufs en Cocotte, with cream and watercress, served with crumpets and lemon. Didn't this dish just layer beautifully!!!??? This was absolutely SPECTACULAR - especially when eaten during the wedding of the century - and especially when it is obvious that those two really GET each other.

Smoked salmon puffs, poached asparagus and hollandaise rounded out the April 29th menu.
