Appetizers

I had the privilege of catering for the Congress of Black Women networking event tonight.  I selected a few appetizers that I thought would make an impression.  Everyone loved the unique flavours and commented on the fact that they'd never tried them before.  Let me introduce you to a few of the appetizers.



Beef Berry



I created this fusion because I have a sweet tooth and I figured adding a natural sweet to an already bold taste would create a savoury flavour.  From experience I know sweet and salty fuse well so I tried this combination of toasted bread topped with slow cooked beef and strawberries.


Island Strips



I've always liked a bit of spice so adding the sweetness of sweetened coconut bits cools the hotness of the jerk to create a flavour anyone can enjoy.  



Tropical Shrimp




I pride myself on being able to make shrimp taste like mango and peaches and curry all at once.  


Pesto Lobster Puffs




Pesto added to the already rich flavour of lobster packed neatly in a pastry is a nice light treat.

Welcoming BBQ Season

BAR-BE-QUE!
BBQ Season has started!  Last weekend I kicked it off by firing up the BBQ and grilling some thighs.  The right mix of seasoning and heat gives flavour a new meaning.
