friday food



 Roasted squash soup.  Used 2 different squash, acorn and butternut.  Poured table side with creme fraiche and micro mint.
Roasted the squash in oven 350 degrees with brown sugar, cummin and butter.  Made sure to cut in half with the cut side up.  (if you prefer to keep the Original color you should cover with aluminum foil).
Pan seared loup de mer.  Cauliflower puree and veal demi reduction.  Kind of what I was doing at voltaire but with only filet, not 2.  For the puree, half milk half water and simmer with parchment paper lid.
Seared sea scallops with parsnips and meyer lemon puree/vinaigrette. (Same recipe for lemon puree except much looser and "broken")  Roasted pork belly with peas and crispy bacon
/pomme puffs.  Slow roasted salmon with cauliflower and peas with Mint vinaigrette.  Amuse bouche, cured salmon and dill on brie croutons.

granny apples





Haley brought home some apples for dinner tonight.  We used just a little bit of sugar, cinnamon,  and vanilla bean.
420 degrees for 20 minutes, 340 degrees for another 20 minutes.  Let cool before transfering  from pan.  At least 30 minutes to cool so that the sugars can harden.
