Vegan version of a Caprese Salad October 15, 2011

03Caprese Salad, Antipasto, Stillheart, 14 people

I served this vegan version of a Caprese Salad for a group of 14 women at Stillheart. It was a HUGE hit …. the flavors, the textures and the adventure of eating it — with a steak knife.

Tomato “Cheese” Stack, a vegetarian version of a Caprese Salad October 14, 2011

The stack: Fennel slice, Apple slice, Tomato slice, Mashed Potatoes mixed with Coconut Milk, Basil Butter, Diced Yellow Bell Pepper

T’was hard to select a star player of our meal when two of the three dishes really stood out. I’ll give my vote to this one, tho, because it clearly can stand on its own. This vegetarian version of the Caprese Salad was very very good! What a beautiful presentation, too.

Fish with butter, fennel veggies in parchment wrap, with kale salad and tomato fennel stack

Fish dinner with culinary student was a success! He can use the parchment paper cooking method for many other dishes. He has plenty of Basil Butter to use on other dishes like soups, fish, meats, salads – too!
