Life is an incredible adventure
Cheese
Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts
Fresh herbs infuse the chicken with lots of flavour, the longer you are able to marinate it. Don’t shy away from the black peppercorns, it is really good when the entire meal comes together.
Chive Sea Bar and Lounge, Savannah, Georgia
Located in the Old Historic District of Savannah, Chive Sea Bar and Lounge came highly recommended. It’s decor is inspired by the decadence of the roaring 20’s in the oldest City in Georgia.
Asparagus Salsa Soup
This quick and flavourful soup has been a long-time family favourite. Don’t let the color throw you off! The salsa you use will determine the intensity of the heat in the soup. Mild salsa for a gentler palate and medium/hot for others.
Green Chili Polenta or Grits
Canned Green Chili’s give this dish a bit of heat and was the perfect side to Tajin Pork Chops and sautéed Blue Oyster Mushrooms.
French Onion Soup
This modern version of onions and soup originates in Paris, made with beef broth and caramelized onions. Heartwarming and topped with the best Swiss Cheese and a little Parmesan is a meal in itself.
Lemon Risotto
The concept of risotto is exclusively Italian. A speciality of Milan, Arborio Rice, (commonly used) is not rinsed. The Risotto needs the starch from the rice for the creamy thick consistency, along with the ever present Parmesan Cheese and stock.
Burrata with Slow Roasted Tomatoes
Burrata and Fresh Mozzarella appear the same until you slice into it. Burrata’s centre is filled with fresh cream and curds, whereas Mozzarella’s interior is the same as the exterior.
Layered Mediterranean Dip
Flavours of the Middle East, Greece and Italy come together in this incredible dip. Start and layer with Hummus, Tzatziki, and Bruschetta.
Pasta Primavera
Pasta Primavera certainly sounds Italian, but it was first made popular by an Italian Chef in New York. Our recipe most often only uses chicken stock for a lighter approach, but many recipes add an equal amount of cream; and that is delicious as well.
