LD051 Around the World Christmas Dinner (Cancelled)

For this year’s celebratory end-of-year meal, Chef Randall proposes a kind of ‘round the world’ menu with each course hailing from a different cooking tradition.  

We’ll start with home-made Russian buckwheat blinis. They are so much more delicious than store-bought. Next up is the special flavor of Red Mullet fish, pan-fried Provençal style with black olive tapenade. 

The main course features beef filet with a Latin American sauce of Ancho chillis and dark chocolate.

Dessert turns toward Asia, with an eggless creme brulée with a twist - tapioca, lemon grass, galangal root, fresh-candied fruit, and coconut milk.

Our Menu Includes:

• Glass of Champagne and Wine
  
• Buckwheat Blinis au Saumon Fumé
  
• Rougets Barbets farcis au Tapenade
  
• Tournedos de Boeuf, sauce Chocolat et Chillis Ancho

• Lemon Grass Coconut Milk Tapioca Creme Brulée
  

Techniques you will learn in this class:  How to make a yeast blini batter; how to cook blinis; how to stuff boneless fish fillets and pan-fry them; how to make a rich brown sauce with chocolate and chillis; how to make an eggless creme brulée.
