ckreef Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 This is the Cliff Notes version but here is the Sunday afternoon meal. It's actually 9 courses but I combined a couple courses so it's served as a 7 course meal. It was supposed to be 10 courses but in the middle of all this I forgot to cook one of the courses - oops by that time I was 1/2 a bottle of Prosecco down and well that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it - LOL. I used this guide for a full course Italian meal: https://toscanaslc.com/blog/guide-to-the-traditional-italian-meal-structure/ Here are a few "action" pictures And dinner is served........ Aperitivo - chilled Prosecco with Cranberry Cheese (Mrs skreef made me do it). Antipasti - tomato crostini drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and 18 year aged balsamic vinegar. Primi - Cheese tortellini drizzled with Alfredo sauce. Secondi - XL (7 Oz.) Meatball served in sauce. Insalata and Formaggie Frutta combined - Spring mix leafy greens with feta cheese and fresh blueberries served with a blueberry balsamic vinaigrette. Dolce and Caffe combined - Savoiardi (lady fingers) stuffed with orange flavored Italian sweet cheese and dipped in dark chocolate. With a side of espresso and some Canadian sugar in the raw. Digestivo - finally Limoncello served in frosted glasses to wash it all down. I am officially stuffed - LOL - Thank you once again @MacKenzie for what's in the little Sponge Bob cup 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Nicely done Charles. I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Italy last year, and I hate to say I went in hating Italian food, and left a tremendous fan. The dishes were absolutely amazing. Next trip might have to be Reef’s Bistro. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted November 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 15 hours ago, Tyrus said: Well done Ckreef, Anniversary, important date? or just because. It was the final challenge in a 7 month grill challenge series that was Covid-19 themed. This challenge was basically an attempt to recreate a multi course (3 course minimum) restaurant meal in a time when many people are still not going out to eat in restaurants. In the end it was a very relaxed, drawn out meal for me and Mrs skreef. Mrs skreef still has to do her challenge cook so we have another multi course meal coming in the near future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
