What fun! Two chefs in a kitchen creating a delicious meal. MiMi and I have talked about cooking together since we first met a few months ago and it happened last night! Since it was a “Pink” moon along with an eclipse, something special was in order! Our creative muses were hard at work as we chopped, tossed, sampled and shared some good red wine. This menu is a bit different from my other posts. MiMi is a devoted vegan and I, curious creature that I am, wanted to explore the options. I’m not sure if I could be vegan full time, but I do believe in eating a more plant based diet and the magic MiMi creates in the kitchen makes me think she could make cardboard taste yummy. Hats off to a lovely lady, ultra-talented chef and friend. Here’s the menu: (Pictures only today….stay tuned tomorrow for recipes…..time in the kitchen took longer than expected!)
Socca with Caramelized Vidalia Onions, Crimini Mushrooms and Artichoke Hearts
Zucchini Carpaccio with Blackberries and Pomegranate Vinaigrette
