Hi Allan, I would LOVE to cook this meal for you, your wife, kids and family/guests. I am your guy. Actually, my wife is Mexican, we were married in Oaxaca (Mexican capital of mole), and I am a michelin-trained chef with a passion for Mexican food, so I would love to provide an elevated Mexican dinner for your wife.
This is what I propose:
Appetizers (two different ceviches):
White Fish Ceviche (whatever is appropriate and freshest at the market)
cilantro-lime "leche de tigre", coconut milk, avocado, heirloom tomato, fried leeks
Asian Fusion Yellow Fin Tuna Ceviche
avocado, watermelon, sesame dashi-soy marinade, black quinoa pop
Main Course (choose chicken or beef, or I would even do both if you want)
Pollo con Dos Moles
chicken breast marinated 48-hours in special herb rub
Carne con Dos Moles
sous-vide perfect beef tenderloin roast
cooked to desired doneness, seared to perfection
Mole options (choose two):
Mole Oaxaqueño
7 different dry peppers - very spicy
Mole Poblano
chocolate & dry peppers - mild
Mole Negro
black chillies and pasilla - spicy
Mole Verde
green chillies and jalapeños
Mole Pipián
pumpkin seeds - mild
Mole Blanco
a blend of pine nuts and other nuts - mild
Mascarpone Cheesecake
touch of lemon, pistachios, raspberry coulis
Warm Apple Tart

Madagascar Vanilla Crème Brulée
Other Infomation
Allan, please note I don't have fotos of the mole, but I think the examples below serve as good examples of my plating. Please hit the message button with any questions. I can also make a couple of versions of the guacamole if you'd like. A traditional one, and maybe one with mint and pomegranate which is also delicious. Please check out my profile and reviews for more info!
One last note. I am scheduled to work that day. If you could let me know in the next week if you'd like to hire me, I will have plenty of time to look for a sub. We closer we get to the date it will be harder. No rush and no pressure, but just so you're aware. Thanks!
