Hi Michelle! I would be delighted and honored to cook this meal for such a special occasion! The options below are some of my customer's favorite dishes, but please let me know if you (or your aunt/guests) have any specific cravings. I have a bag full of tricks and would love to pamper your palates.
Charcuterie Board
I will assemble a delightful assortment of salumi and cheeses from Salumeria Rosi, Murray´s Cheese and Buon Italia (my favorite purveyors)
1st-course (choose one)
Schiuma di Asparagi
airy asparagus foam, garnished with pomegranate, crispy prosciutto & crispy leeks
Linguine Puttanesca
san marzano tomatoes, white wine, capers, kalamata olives, anchovies, EVOO, fresh basil, parmigiano reggiano
Spaghetti al Pesto di Pistacchi e Gamberi
yolk-only fresh pasta, pistachio pesto, sautéed prawns in EVOO and garlic
Dessert (choose one):
Yuzu-lemon Tart
Warm Apple Tart
Madagascar Vanilla Crème Brulée
Tarta de Santiago
moist and gooey almond cake, lemon zest, vanilla bean ice-cream
Mascarpone Cheesecake
touch of lemon, pistachios, raspberry coulis
Other Infomation
I know you said you want a low-dairy dessert, but I included my mascarpone cheesecake because it is to die for. Anyways regarding the main, we can also do the steak with a side of any of those pastas + the asparagus or any other veggie. Please hit the message button if you have any questions or want to discuss other options. I didn't want to overwhelm you, but there are a million things we could do. Please check out my profile if you have time and thanks for checking out my proposal ;-)
