Here are some dishes that were Earlier this year.
___________________________________
1) The first is an Large Ravioli stuffed with goat cheese
over pesto with roasted cherry tomatoes
2) My ultimate comfort food, Pork loin in the style of Porchetta ,
stuffed with home made sausage, cooked with red onions and fennel
3) Home made spaghetti, in a lobster,
sun-dried tomato cream sauce with arugula .
Such a great combination and I like it with a little kick
4) This was outstanding, worth me doing again.
The duck was marinated in orange juice & pepper,
then cooked until the fat was crisp and the marinade was used as a sauce.
The baby artichokes were marinaded in orange juice & olive oil
after sitting for a while they were very tender
5) This dessert I used marscapone cream instead of ricotta,
it was a cake with a marscapone mousse and a rhubarb glaze
Took longer to cook that I thought
6) Roasted, plum tomatoes, bell red & yellow peppers
for max flavor, grilled onions all layered in-between
phyillo dough for crunch
with kalamata olives for the tapenade
7) What more can I say ?
8) A diffident winner
Stay tuned for addition blogs of several menu’s
