Winter Special Dinner Party

JAN 30, 2011-1 MIN

Description

Tonight I cooked a dinner for clients who received a dinner for 4 as a gift certificate for Christmas from their brother. He took advantage of my Winter Special pricing for a dinner for 4, and they chose the following dishes. They can all be found in our Gilded Fork Cookbook!

Radicchio, Endive & Arugula Salad with Candied Pecans, Figs and Goat Cheese

Apple & Turnip Soup with Cinnamon Crème Fraiche

Here is the Main Course dish resting, just waiting to be cut into! It’s our Dried Fruit and Nut Stuffed Pork Loin Roast, which you can find in our Gilded Fork Cookbook.

And here it is sliced and served alongside brussels sprouts and mixed brown rice. The clients had a cute heart-shaped measuring cup, which served as the perfect mold for the rice, showing lots of love!

And we rounded out the dinner with a dish that has become a favorite of my clients at these dinners: Poached Pears with Raspberry Coulis. This is a slight variation on a favorite recipe on the site and in our cookbook, Poached Pears with Chocolate Raspberry Sauce.
