Imagine: On the skillfully set table, your dining room attendant places a plate of sliced ripe melon wedges draped with a ribbon of thinly sliced prosciutto. The dish: pure art –nearly too graceful to eat. The first course leads to the second, where cold-smoked salmon becomes the stage for the unmissable waltz of cream cheese and red onion, capers and chopped hard-cooked egg.
Third: an aesthetically pleasing and artful edible sculpture of five spice-rubbed seared duck breast, rice pilaf, julienned vegetables and currant-orange gastrique paired with the impeccable balance of sweetness and acidity in a buttery, smooth chardonnay. Airy yet filling, colorful and creative, the first three lead to the fourth course: dessert.
