My wife and I threw a baby shower dinner party for friends of ours last night.  We ended up with 10 people including ourselves.

Warm Goat Cheese Salad

For the party I served (in the following order):

• Warm panko breaded goat cheese salad made with butter lettuce, endive, radicchio, and topped with balsamic vinaigrette and a dollop of Kalamata olive tapenade.
• Lamb meatball made sous vide and fried.  Each meatball was sitting on a spread of basil infused olive oil and topped with shaved aged parmesan cheese.  A dot of Habanero infused oil was on the side.
• Escargot served “family style” with a garlic butter made with shallots and sided with toasted bread.
• Bruschetta topped with goat cheese, candied onions, roasted fig, and drizzled with honey.
• Fresh made Tagliette pasta with homemade Ragu of Beef, Pork, and smoked bacon.
• Pre-made caramel cake augmented with orange marmalade puree, shaved chocolate, and drizzled with caramel.

Everyone seemed to like the food!  I’ll be posting recipes and articles about some of the items later on.  You can already find out how I make the Ragu from a previous article here.
