An Evening With Chef Pierre

We had the most delightful 25th anniversary dinner given by Chef Pierre (aka Peter Telian)! What a gift of time (Peter prepared days before), close fellowship with our friends Donald
and Cassey, and elegance as the table was gorgeously set, complete with music and candle light. It was a 7 course meal that took two and one half hours to enjoy! The meal consisted of an appetizer of mini pizza's with winter squash topping, of which the crust was deliciously light and fluffy. Then came a wonderful creamy pasta with wild mushroom sauce. After that was a delightful salad with all sorts of yummy things in it, including fresh pistachios, and on the plate with the salad was a homemade Duck pate', which was delicious! After leisurely partaking of
these courses we were served a "cleanse the palate" delight of Earl Grey sorbet and glazed pears. As soon as we let that sit awhile we were served the main entree of Red Snapper, Spicy cous cous, with a vegetable and that was easily "snapped" up with many compliments to the chef! And as if we hadn't had enough....we were then served an artful bowl of parsnip and blue potato soup. It gave us a new appreciation for parsnips as the soup was naturally sweet and yummy coming from the "in season" parsnips that were available. The purple potato was mashed and displayed in a spiral on top of the soup! A most exquisite Chocolate Torte with homemade Pistachio ice cream was the delectable dessert. We sat and talked and had coffee until later in the evening. What an awesome meal and experience we had!!

We are most impressed and it was an evening that I think we will remember until the day we die. We plan to hire Chef Pierre for Scott's next years Christmas dinner for the office. Hopefully having a preview in February just for the associates.
