friday oct 24 lunch menu was pesto panseared ocean perch(rosefish) which i topped with a campari tomato artichoke compote served with a side of caesar salad for $7

i did a radichio romano bean cream soup and a smoked turkey minestroni soup

tonight im doing an informal concession set up for the regina performing arts center regina little theater one act plays

i have turkey tenders in the oven right now slow roasting with a roasted red pepper seasoning and since i have some pesto from friday im gonna use that but turn it into a tapanade of sorts to go on top as an accent as a side im gonna do a italian herbed veggie pasta salad mix

for those that dont want an entree i will do a simple chicken caesar wrap

the cheescake will be a white chocolate berry with a pecan fudge crumble topped with some dessert balsamic must and a white wine fruit glaze and whip cream of course

as a side note i find it very very very very funny that certain people in chat think im not an actual chef because i own a food outlet in a university ahhahahahhahahahhah
ill not go into it but simply smile about it

so tell me stez what do you know about dessert balsamic please educate me

for the sake of brevity here is a link of many i could show

take note of one thing in chefing the residue left over from making balsamic vinegar is very widely used in dessert application hence the name dessert balsamic must NOT balsamic vinegar

ok heading off to the catering job at the performing arts center for regina little theater a non profit amateur theatre troup whom i do concessions for as a way of helping them to raise funds

i will post pics of the turkey dish that im doing for them an the cheese cake just so that yall can have more than words to drool over

 

[stezatois]

cant help it, you make it so easy. nuff said lmao

tho either way, as a vinegar by-product, those of us with allergies would still need an ambulence. Also im still seeing nothing other than rabbit food for those who cant eat wheat, so that would about count out my entire family from being able to eat a single thing you cook any way lol

 

[chefjamesscott]

oh really well im back from my function and i have pictures now ill post them after i unload and with the exception of the pasta salad and the bread you could have eaten well tonight since the turkey has no preservative, flavour enhancers such as msg etc... and the veggies were herb marniated but the pictures will suffice will post at ya in about an hour

 

[chefjamesscott]

ok stez since you are allergic and celiac i must say my aunt who is married to my dads brother is celiac an has cancer as well so diet for her is an issue

substitutes i use are flax, hemp, polenta, rice

im gonna post the meal as i prepared it to the reactions of people who ate it and the only thing you would not have been able to eat would be the pasta salad an the multigrain bread

even my coffee which i serve is certified organic and fair trade so that would be kosher unless caffine is an issue then that would be out but hey there is always water well ok the cheesecake would have an oreo crust so that would be out too

ok for the roast pepper turkey tender dish i started off slow roasting the turkey

then i made my artichoke / campari tomato sauce

bruschetta tomato sauce

artichoke campari tomato compote

pesto con aglio

add the two to the sauce and slowly simmer it to heat

these are the flax snaps that have no wheat

now to make my roasted pepper cranberry relish

cranberries an roasted pepper seasoning no msg

my freshly roasted red bell peppers

add the oil from the peppers

some nice organic italian garlic puree

do the chef ginsu an chop the peppers an parsley to bits (the oil beside my burner is linseed oil)

whisk it together an presto a killer cranberry relish

now off to the site and 15 min to go lets crack the cheesecakes notice my fantastic helper (to bad she forgot i have a camera hahahahahahah)

now before you say one word about clean hands its called soap an water an paper towel

this lady came back for dessert after her turkey it seems she is liking it enough to trust us with dessert

now she seemed to not be able to get enough that it seemed like she was gonna eat the fork

here are two shots of the turkey plate

on this plate the only item that would have to be removed is the pasta for your celiac and this was a budget function where the price was $7/ plate so i can only go so far with the chefness

ahhahahahh they again forget that there is a camera nut on the loose

now these people were asked to come back an give their opinion of the meal it would seem that they liked it

well its late im bushed and im going home
