Food Glorious Food!!!
My friend Jules wanted to spend his birthday cooking. Coming from a gal who is not natural in the kitchen this sounded INSANE but Jules and his friend Inti are foodies and love to cool multi-course meals. 8 of Jules friends enjoyed a 9-course meal and many bottles of wine & champagne.
I must say...Champagne with Black Current Syrup was amazing!!!!! If you like Champagne, you should try it!
Below is a listing of the courses. Every plate was one serving. It was just enough of everything. I'll try anything once and walked away enjoying the amazing food combinations.
Truffle Popcorn:
Very EASY! Hard to stop eating!!! Truffle salt & butter added to air-popped popcorn
Citrus Cured Salmon with Curried Yogurt
Avocado Grapefruit Crab Verrine
Tangerine-Sage Shot
Arugula & Brussels Sprouts Salad with Crispy Prosciutto and Parmesan
Butternut Squash Soup with Garlic Croutons
Seared Bay Scallop With Minted Pea Puree & Mint Oil
Braised Oxtail Sliders with Root Vegetable Gratin
Mango Berry Crumble with Cinnamon-Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
Inti and Jules are both photographers so Inti shot the photos above before we dug in. Unfortunately, she didn't shoot all dishes.
Jules is funny so I got him a gag gift for his Birthday..... A Girlfriend. Hortence is great because she doesn't talk and innocent. After many bottles of wine, we had some fun with her.
