~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Join us as we evoke the sensual world of Aphrodite, the Goddess of love.
The Goddess will multiply, taking her four incarnations as:
Aphrodite of the Air,
fluttering down to give sweet tastes of her intoxicating nectar;
Aphrodite of the Earth ,
bearing fruit-filled branches;
Aphrodite of Fire , taming fiery chilies with sweet chocolate and
cool coconut bliss;
Aphrodite of the Sea , sailing from the East where the subtle
and delicate fruits of the sea become edible art.
I will say no more
of her secrets.
It is said that the association between food and eroticism is primal;
in this special Banquet we explore this connection in our culinary
creations. Let me tantalize with a list of some of our planned dishes:
Tastes of exotic honey, edible flowers and raw chocolate; Avocado &
Sashimi salad; Roasted duck glazed in tamarind ume plum wine,
Coconut Cream Kabocha with titillating tastes of Thailand;
Slow cooked Bahia Black Bean Feijoada; Wild rice pilaf & plantains;
Lavender Panna Cotta with Wildflower honey;
White wine strawberry kiwi ambrosia; and much more.
Your contribution of $50 covers the evening, the feast, a glass of
wine, and the full night of entertainment - wine by the bottle will be
separate. . Location & directions will be sent upon confirmation.
