Open House - au Cirque de la Cuisine

We had a great time last Thursday night at our annual open house. The theme was "au Cirque de la Cuisine" which featured french-ey black, white & hot pink decor, delicious circus-themed food, our rolling street cart with "Lemongrass Backflips" & "Flank Steak Bahn Mi" (Vietnamese sandwhiches), an arielist hanging from the celing and a dessert buffet complete with pink & white circus animals and our newest creations - cakesicles & ganache pops. Already starting the plan for 2011. . .

Wine Lovers Series Continues!

We are so excited to continue our Wine Lovers series with one of our favorite WA Winemakers (and friends) Bob Betz from Betz Family Winery. If you haven't joined us in the catering kitchen for a Wine Lovers event they are designed to be a bit more casual than a typical seated winemaker dinner. Guests can mingle with our chefs, featured WA winemaker, and meet fellow wine enthusiasts while enjoying new American tapas-style fare! Click image for menu and more information.

"Flip to the Dish" ala Julie & Julia!

Vivre Julia…..and “Flip to the Dish”
Sip on a classic French 75 and “Flip to the dish!” Just like Julie did each day while writing her blog. Plan a few days before your Oscar Party to randomly flip open your copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking , by Julia Child and see what you are going to commit to cook for your friends watching the Oscars!

I just flipped mine open to page 147 (think I’ve been here before) to her Quiche Lorraine!

If you have foodie type friends coming over make them do the same thing. Don’t let anyone tell each other what dish they landed on!

French Champagne recommended!
A votre santé
French 75
1 1/2 ounce gin
3/4 ounce lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
4 ounce chilled champagne
Shake gin, lemon juice, and sugar with ice. Strain into ice filled collins glass. Fill with champagne.
