The wine for the occasion...

 

Again because of Covid, I have to prepare and cook all the food but I am so used to cook for a large crowd so 15 people is a breeze for me.

 

The first appetizer is a Caprese tomato, basil, mozzarella drizzle in  balsamic & olive oil.

Because of Covid I had to make individual portion as sharing is not a possibility.

 

2nd appetizer is a poached shrimps with lemon juice, olive oil, avocado, cucumber, and chopped parsley.

 

Practicing distancing so there is only 2 people per table.

 

Cheers!

 

A toast to the newly wed!

Mimosa to go with the appetizers.

 

The3rd dish is a Hamachi with ponzu sauce.

 

Here I am in the kitchen putting together the 4th dish with is a combination of caramelized onion quiche and served with an asparagus soup.

The 5th dish is baked penne with eggplant and Italian sausage.

I figure that up to this point all the dishes were pretty light so adding a pasta will definitely fill up your belly.

6th and final dish is roasted guinea fowl legs with cauliflower puree & sautéed broccolini.

 

Bon appetit everyone!

 

Lunch is over and it is time to bring out the wedding cake.

 

The cake

Fro the wedding cake, I made a Berry crème frâiche cake.

 

Decorated the cake with fresh Peonies since I am not that great at piping.

 

The cake turned to be stunning with the fresh peonies.
