no dilemma

In honor of my mother's request to avoid any big sad funeral type event, my father, sister, and I decided to create a reverse "shiva". Instead of mourning for a week, while accepting other people's food, we decided to cook for a week and invite everyone over to celebrate in her spirit.

on the bow: confetti coleslaw, quinoa salad with peas and mint, roasted fruit with rosemary and lime, spinach and ricotta cepes, onion and gruyere tart, baked olives, smoked trout and a variety of seasonal cheeses

and on stern my sister is pouring a fig and honey finish on her delicious dessert crepes served with toasted walnuts and a lemon ricotta sauce to die for...also on the dessert menu was a ginger berry triffle, cassis and hazelnut truffles, and an endless variety of cookies/mandelbrot


You and your cooking are greatly missed mama.
