OLYMPICS IN THE MIX!

 

The birthday boy really outdid himself this week! We start off with Shaun White Rice spiced with Michaela Saffron and topped with Nathan Chen Julienne! (Surrounded by snap peas, broccoli, romanesco, cheesey roasted mushrooms, and a basil garlic sauce)!

Which was paired with muddled mint, sage, and lime with coconut rum, cachaca, and mezcal.

Next we have passionfruit syrup, coconut powder, lime, rum, and tequila

Roasted romanesco and beet salad with lemon-tahini dressing,

and spinach pie.

With Marko in town for the bday boy, we had an olympic style cousin pile up (Joey, Nathan, and Marko)!

And of course in this photo op with Maya, Marko, and boobini, 

the Chef just can't resist sneaking in fulfillment for his ear fetish!

Caught in the act!

Muddled curry leaves, lime, orange liqueur, and tequila

hamachi sashimi and smoked paprika on a crisp water cracker

Chana dal with fried curry leaves, black sesame and cumin seeds which were poured into...

Winner of the week! Olympic-sized crispy puffed pita rings!

topped with kale salad and yogurt cucumber sauce!

DELISH!!!

Finally we have a blood orange, rosemary, orange liqueur, and tequila!

And we finish with the birthday boy's Pear Tart with Hazelnut Frangipane

topped with Maple-lemon-ginger frozen yogurt!

Happy Birthday Uncle Tata! 

May your year be filled with sweet delights!
