Tyler's Birthday Dinner - October 5th

So the night went off without a hitch! Enjoy!

Beet & Portabello Walnut Paté on a Pumpernickel Crouton with Lemon Cashew Cream.
Gin Mini Shot with Cucumber Caviar.

Sauteéd Fennel, Leeks, Brussel Sprout Leaves, Zucchini, Pancetta on a bed of Pistachio Cream, topped with Purple Potato Chips

Figs stuffed with a Sweet Potato Anise Mousse, bruleéd, sitting atop a bed of Ginger sand.

I don't have photos of the last two entrées because they didn't turn out...I'm still learning! I may invest in a soft-box set up so that I can keep tinkering with still-lifes and food photography. But don't worry - I have tons of photos from Laurel from the next night when I recreated the same meal for paying customers (my old roommates!).
