Another Day Another Delicious Dinner Party!

 Hello!  It's me again stopping in to share a few photos from another recent Culinary Caverns event.
The theme this time around was the 70's.   Lots of peace signs, orange, vibrant colors and tasty treats from way back when!


Lovely little posies on the table



I must say I was a big fan of the fondue and Cantonese style spare ribs!  Mmm mmm!



The vodka slush quaffing drink was quite refreshing, too.   As usual everyone enjoyed the meal and the conversation.  This time around we had Michael join JoEll in the kitchen.  I enjoyed how he added the extra touches by garnishing each dish with a bit green here and a bit of yellow there.  Lots of color and a feast for the eyes!



Michael adding lemon zest to the marinated mushrooms


Don't you just love the vintage dishware?  Those glasses make me smile


Here's the Cantonese-sytle marinated spare ribs.  Taaayyyysteee!



Some of the guests and CC crew really got into the 70's vibe and dressed accordingly.  Love it!



Here's a few shots of the prep that goes into making this wonderful dinner party work:



Chefs working side by side


Anyone out there remember Rumaki?  Who knew that was big in the 70's?  Uhhh - the chefs, of course!
Bacon covered anything is amazing.   Although on an un-related side note a friend recently tried bacon dipped in chocolate at a restaurant on Father's Day?  Gross!  Especially if the bacon isn't crisp.  Ewww!  Don't go there, man!  Haha!



Garnishing and the spread.   The Asian chili sace with the Rumaki was incredible!



Danielle stirring up the fondue 




And last but not least ... French silk pie with a little Crème fraiche.  Love the chocolate topper, don't you?


As always I had a great time being a part of the Culinary Caverns crew and capturing the prep and festivities of the night.   


I made a few new friends and felt very appreciated for my help, which is such a nice feeling!  



Cheers to another great event!!
