Engagement supper

-

Alex and his friend Andrew decided in January to create a wonderful wedding gift for several couples this year...

In the 2 weeks prior to the wedding, they are invited over, but only the groom knows it’s for a special supper. Alex and Andrew spend the day cooking up a feast. The first evening (April 26) it was much too chilly to consider an outdoors event, so we cleared out the guestroom and set it up for a private supper for two. Matt and Caitlin said it was a wonderful evening (look at their smiles!).

The menu: samosas; ginger and celery soup topped with sour cream and a homemade onion and poppyseed cracker (ooh, ah); garden salad greens with oven-roasted tomato wedges; apple and lime sorbet; lemon and pea risotto with cedar plank salmon with a maple balsamic glaze (ooh); fresh strawberries with crème Anglais (oh oh oh!). Divine!

Even those of us “downstairs” enjoyed the amazing offerings... What a duo!
