THAT'S ROMANCE!!




Can dining be romantic?  You know it! 
Visit our complimentary Recipe Book on line at www.kitchensbounty.com and you will find all the recipes to orchestrate the beautiful Menu below!  We believe in the romance of food so much, that we have an original Kitchens Bounty theme song (Titled “That’s Romance”) playing in the background as you scroll our recipe book.  The creation and production of this song was a gift from talented and dear friends who have graced our table on many happy occasions!  
Okay you Romantics…here is a suggested Dinner for Two, Four, Six or Eight…whatever the number, believe me, for this dinner – That’s Romance!
Aperitif -  thinly sliced Baguette and warm Brie Cheese
Start with an Aperitif…something fruity and light with a little bite (sour) to sip on while the pots are simmering and the fragrances begin to fill the air  (we love F2… our own “Forbidden Fruit” aperitif)
Appetizer  (a nibble or teaser!) –Almond Encrusted Shrimp Cakes
We suggest your appetizer be decadent Almond Encrusted Shrimp Cakes with a Lemon Soy Aioli.
This is a great make ahead starter and takes minutes to finish in a skillet…or leave warming in the oven.
Salad – Big Red Salad with a Maple Kiss Dressing
We go to our Tried and TrueBig Red Salad”, a delight of a Salad featuring Red Oak Lettuce, thinly sliced Peaches (or whatever seasonal fruit you love!), toasted Pecans and a kiss of Maple in the dressing.
It is sweet, savory and decadent – just like true love should be!
Entrée – Butternut Squash Risotto – Roasted Asparagus Spears – Seared Salmon Plank
This meal features a tender yet sophisticated Butternut Squash Risotto served with Roasted Asparagus Spears.  The Risotto can star alone or serve  double billing with an exquisite yet simple Amazing Seared Salmon Plank (find this in the Gourmands Guide to the Amazing Rub) …we like to finish ours in a blaze… flambeed with Cognac (it’s a French thing!).
But flame – or no flame, we guarantee a warm fire at the table and in the heart!

Dessert – Rum Raisin Caramel Sauce with Rich Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 
At this point…pinch yourself… the wine, the culinary adventure, the music (play music!!)
Now…bring it home!  Purchase the best vanilla ice cream that money can buy and pour an exquisite warm Rum Raisin Caramel Sauce over this…our recipe is smooth, it is sophisticated, it is the Perfect ending.
Friends, over tables we have celebrated life’s many occasions.
May you find joy in the Kitchen and at the Table with this feast for the senses!
HAPPY VALENTINES WEEK and beyond!
