Senior Cook
For NYE I'm doing a tasting menu paired with beer and wine for each course. My FIL is taking care of the wine. NYE is the night when the men cook and serve the ladies who usually do all the other holidays.
The menu is...
First: Tuna sashimi with daikon radish, cucumber, fresh grated ginger and a soy dipping sauce. Beer---Hefe
Second: Pan seared scallops with bacon puree and brussel spouts. Beer---Fuller's London Pride
Third: Grilled mango and prosciutto with herb ricotta and mango coulis Beer---German or Bohemian Pilsner
Fourth: Pineapple polenta and shrimp with pineapple habanero sauce. Beer--- Beligian Blonde
Fifth: Grilled lamb (ground lamb) skewers with cucumber mint coucous and cucumber yogurt dipping sauce. Beer---Flanders Red
Sixth: Cheeses ( types yet to be decided). Beer---Porter or Scotch Ale depending on the cheeses
Seventh: Roasted whole beef tenderloin and bearnaise sauce with mushroom risotto. Beer--- American Pale Ale
Eight: Crème brulee with fruit. Beer---Chocolate , Mocha or Coffee stout
I've asked my beer geek friends, so now I ask my new cooking friends.....What do you think?
