August In Full Swing
Alas, the wounded has mended. My spine decided to heal and all is well.
This dinner was especially nice because it became a creative exercise, some of the ideas i've had over the last few months confined to my bed, just waiting to explore. These diners were not big dessert people but I managed to provide two small sweet treats. The requests were for a sort of fresh, raw fish- artichokes- mushrooms and beef. We talked about a mango type of margarita so I created a little drink to start off the dinner.
MANGO MARGARITA, Reserva De Mi Familia Tequila, lime ginger mousse, mint oil
HAMACHI TARTARE, coriander puree, chive oil, sour tomato salt
CRISPY SHITAKE TERRINE, cinnamon butter, corn gel, smoked mushroom tea, brioche aromatic
ARTICHOKE CHAMPAGNE VELOUTE, foie gras cremeaux, tarragon, lemon peel textures, parmesan
ALASKAN HALIBUT, Jasmine rice mousse, saffron young ginger honey, wakame, spice almond crumble
AGED SHORT RIBS TWO WAYS, sherry vinegar mousse, soy milk puree, caramel puffed rice, coffee oil, micro arugula
LYCHEE SODA, St. Germain elderflower drops, mint tea cream
PEANUT BUTTER COCOA LOLLIPOPS
