This menu is luxury on a plate, featuring a show-stopping beef roast with a creamy morel mushroom sauce and chocolate soufflés.
This menu practically screams special occasion (and feeds a small crowd), starting with thesalt-crusted standing rib roast. The crust blankets the roast while it cooks, resulting in tender, perfectly medium-rare beef that’s seasoned all the way through. With a creamy sauce of dried morel mushrooms and Marsala wine, it’s luxury on a plate. The menu is completed with winter vegetables at their best: A silkypuréed cauliflower soup;rainbow chard and fennel带有新鲜的柠檬片段和帕米亚诺剃须的闪闪发光；和黄油小Yukon Gold potato cakes. Finish with personalchocolate souffléswith rum-infused whipped cream. Easy recipes, sophisticated results.
