Other Infomation

Hi Julie,

Below you’ll find the menu I’ve written for you and your guests to help celebrate your sister’s birthday. This copy should serve as a draft to introduce you to my writing style and some of the possibilities. If there is anything you’d like changed I’ll be happy to work with you to get everything just right.

I’d start with a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres. The smoke in mirrors is a classic and one of my favorite cocktails; it’s unique, balanced and bright. I think the grouping of snacks has a good variety of flavor to offer everyone a favorite.

For dinner I’d start with local macerated stone fruits. I get them every week at my local market; they’re always sweet, tender and delicious.

Next I’d offer a seafood course of diver scallops or curried squash. Next, roasted filet mignon with truffled potato or cauliflower with caramelized onion and golden raisin. Finally a chocolate and peanut butter parfait. I’d be happy to serve the kids this menu or offer them fresh buttered noodles, steamed corn, a garden salad and brownies.

Along with the food and cocktail spirits I'll provide ceramics, table service, cookware and printed menus. I’d love to help make this a memorable evening for you, let me know if you have any questions. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
