Other Infomation

Hi Maggie,

Thank you for reviewing my proposal! I'd love to help you all celebrate your birthday! I like to start dinners with a sparkling cocktail and hors d'oeuvres. I chose a few bites that eat well together and have a variety of flavor to satisfy a group. For dinner I've written a salad of roasted squash, apple and pistachio. This dish has a lot of flavor with fun textures and beautiful presentation. Next, a handmade pasta course followed by pan roasted halibut. Finally a small cheese course and an elegant dark chocolate dessert. It will be no problem accommodating your allergy by modifying some of these dishes slightly.

This menu menu serves as a starting off point so you can get an idea of some of the possibilities. Ultimately I'm happy to make edits and re write until we get every bite just right. Along with the food I provide printed menus, ceramics and table service. I'm also happy to help select wines. I've included some photos of my work, they aren't specific to this menu but hopefully you can gather my plating style, aesthetic and attention to detail.

I look forward to hearing from you, let me know if you have any questions!

Best.

Matthew
