The Easter Feast

The Easter Feast

This Sunday was Easter, the day that we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior – Jesus the Christ. What better way to celebrate Easter than to have a proper feast. The focus of the menu was crepes – both savory and dessert. I designed the meal such that each crepe was a mini meal. No side dishes needed.

SAVORY CREPES
1) Avocado, prawns, crab, cilantro, yellow onion, lemon juice.

New Years Day Feast

New Years Day Feast

We like to start out the New Year with a proper feast.

1) Honey Baked Ham
I love a properly cured ham. This Michigan based product is cured with honey.

2) Dungenes Crab
Great with the ham and cheeses.

3) Scalloped Potatoes
This dish is essentially multiple layers of sliced potatoes. I like to add other wonderful things to the layers. Like sautéed onions and garlic, Herbs de Provenance, sautéed mushrooms, and Cheddar and Parmesan cheese. And to kick it up a notch – fennel.  I top the whole thing off with a mixture of: {cream of mushroom soup, Italian red vermouth, heavy cream}. It is important to caramelize everything. The result is a wonderful complexity of flavours. So the yellow onions and garlic are caramelized.
