Elegant Winter Dinner

For one of our events in December we decided to play off the colors of the season.
They had a wonderful dining table and with our decorations the setting was very glamorous.


 Lots of silver, crystal, white and glitter to make this dinner an elegant feast.

 silver beads, mirrored plates, and crystal beads

 Elegant white, iridescent, and silver Christmas tree bulbs were perfect



 And finally flickering candlelight from tea lights and votives 
was the perfect finishing touch



To welcome the guests we provided them with our classic Blood Orange Pomtini



 For our Amuse Bouche we had Green Apple and Wasabi sorbet garnished with green apple bits



  
For one of our appetizers we served a warm Pork Crostini: seasoned pork, sage cream, sauteed onions on top of an herbed crostini and garnished with a fried sage leaf

 
 Hard at work assembling the pork crostinis


 Our salad had pears, blackberries, walnuts, and handmade
Bleu cheese dressing, stacked vertically

.
Sometimes, it's the presentation that puts a dish over the top.

Keeping busy at the stove!


 Our main course was a dish native to Argentina. Matambre is a rolled flank steak with proscuitto, spinach, bread crumbs and seasonings.
Here, we accompanied it with a serving of mashed potatoes and shelled edamame.
