For Starters

The Bruschetta: Fresh, Colourful & Delicious.

Perfect for both the grand gathering you are hosting or the intimate get together, the Bruschetta is a classic. Upgrade this traditional starter by highlighting the taste with some savoury truffles in balsamic vinegar . The amazing characteristic of the bruschetta is that it is easily prepared; all it takes is some chopping and dicing of the ingredients however the truffles do require some delicate slicing. The flavour of the truffles will leave your guests craving for more. Do not forget to serve with a good bottle of Bordeaux.

The Mains

There is no going wrong weather you choose to prepare a dish with fresh meat or seafood as your main course; and given that it is the holiday season, the more is always the merrier! The scent of a perfectly Pan-Seared Foie Gras with spiced citrus purée will win the hearts of your guests as much as a tender braised lamb infused in rosemary, thym and wine. Seafood dishes can be winners too. Allow your palate to be pampered with the taste of a maple orange Salmon served with refreshing mango salsa with a hint of lemon juice. The key is to not compromise on quality of the ingredients you are using.

Feel free to share your glimpses of your Christmas dishes with us. Happy Holidays!
