Recent Culinary Adventures

On the 17th of this month, I cooked a dinner for my mom's birthday, mischa's birthday, a family friend's birthday and retirement. The menu for the dinner was a penne bolognese, a shrimp alfredo, italian marinated vegetables, panzanella salad, and an asparagus gratin. Everything turned out great and tasted amazing!

New Dishes!!

So for Easter, I decided to go the untraditional route. I made a pan seared boneless pork chop, seasoned with just a little salt and pepper. Along with some roasted purple fingerling potatoes seasoned with smoked paprika and two seafood croquettes. The croquettes had diver scallops, sea scallops, and haddock with some onion, garlic, roasted red pepper, and celery held together with some mayo, egg, and panko bread crumbs. The seafood was cooked in a well seasoned court bouillon.

The next dish I made tonight. It is just a simple pan seared salmon fillet seasoned with salt, smoked paprika, and pepper. The fillet is set on top of balsamic braised vegetables, the vegetables being onion, celery, and red bell pepper.


See you next time!
