We just had our gourmet dinner club the other night and I must say this one ended up being the most decadent food we have ever had. Everything was delicious and very rich. I vowed to never eat again when the evening was done. We had already started on devouring the food when we remembered to take pictures so you will notice some of the pictures looking a little sparse. Believe me when I say NOTHING was sparse. I am missing one picture - the 2nd course - mine. This dinner brings the old ad campaign to mind - I can't remember for what but "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" is quite fitting. Without further ado, here is what we consumed....
For the appetizers, we had:
Sherried Pecan Gruyere Spread with homemade Pepper Rosemary Crackers
Gruyere Puffs
Artichoke Gruyere Crostini
and homemade Limoncello with or without strawberry lemonade
For the soup/salad course, we had:
Whiskey Sherried Crab Bisque with toasted croutons
For the main course, we had:
Scallops in a White Wine Mushroom Sauce
Sauteed Spinach Ovals
Sweet Potato Puree with peaches, ginger, craisins, and walnuts
For dessert, we had:
Asti with Chambord and Pomegranite Juice
A Chocolate cup with a orange yogurt whipped cream topped with a sugared orange peel knot
A Coconut cookie topped with a chestnut rum cream puree
An Apricot toast made with a cherry pound cake, apricot glaze, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, topped with a broiled apricot, some chesnut cream and pistachio pieces
A Cranberry Orange Truffle made with bitter sweet chocolate, cranberries dipped in white chocolate topped with craisins and almond slivers.
ARE YOU DROOLING YET?
