A four course dinner for my father inlaw’s birthday. We started with grilled portobello mushroom, and moved on to cream of asparagus soup with black truffles and truffle oil and before the main course a garden salad with miso dressing. To cleanse our palette he had a Raspberry Morte Subite, which was sweet and refereshing for the first three courses. Finally we had super tender veal shank with safron risotto and grilled zucchini marinated in balsamic vinegar.

Beef Stroganoff with Egg Noodles
October 19th, 2005 by dinner
Fall is definitely here, so it’s time for hardy dishes, and nothing’s better than beef stroganoff. I use a little paprika in the flour when coating the beef for a little kick and colour. The image is a little washed out, because of steam wafting off the dish, you know it’s fall when. The dish is topped with a little sour cream and fresh parsley.
Crusted Lamb Rack
October 15th, 2005 by dinner
A rack of lamb grilled, then coated with honey Dijon mustard and then coated with a mixture of parsley, mint, chives and bread crumbs and then baked in a 400 F oven. I got the ingredient list from Jump Cafe & Bar one of our favourite restaurants and the location of our wedding reception. The dish also includes a potato cake stuffed with cheddar cheese, grilled zucchini and sautéed cremini mushrooms and shallots in a white wine and butter.

With a bunch of turkey leftovers and mashed potatoes, it was a no brainer to throw together a simple Turkey pie. Very tasty and makes for good lunches.
