A SUMPTUOUS SUMMER HARVEST DINNER


After enjoying the Summer...and emerging into the pre Fall Calendar, thoughts of Menus, Harvest Celebrations, Sumptuous Dinners, Full Moons.....friends at the table return.  Just wanted to share with you a wonderful celebration that was shared by myself and KB TEAM, with a very fun and artistic group of Baldwin Wallace friends.
Last Saturday, in celebration of the fine interns and staff that have helped the Kitchen Bounty launch our business this past year....we celebrated.  Here is a brief description of the meal that was prepared...and enjoyed by all.

THE BW GOURMET SUMMER HARVEST DINNER -
We started with a Watermelon Soup that had zip!!  At first taste you were lulled into thinking this sweet cold nectar was "lovely", that was probably before the hints of jalapeno and salty taste of feta cheese got to your tongue, a delicious, surprising and fun start!  We moved on in this culinary journey  with a “fanciful” red salad featuring ripe peaches (SC/McLeod imports) kissed with a savory maple dressing. Pecan encrusted chicken breast, stuffed with fresh lobster and  served with a Benedictine Beurre Blanc Sauce,  (proof that the Monks made it right the first time in 1510).  The finish was seasonal fruits…caramelized in cast iron skillets  served with triple crème vanilla bean ice.
Decadent, almost prayerful….delicious!   With all that being said ....my sweetest treat was the amazing group of "friends" that entered my home to cook with!   

I look forward to the culinary experiences that will be produced with an exciting Fall Menu of events and classes.  Look for our newsletter next week....book your adventure now!
