A Peek in Bistro 2404

Date September 14, 2008

So I was invited to cook a dinner tonight for Vox’s Nav Team (approx. 17 people). Here was the menu I came up with:

Appetizer
Bacon-Wrapped Trio
Asparagus, Shrimp with Mango-Chili Glaze, Chicken Lollipops with Satay Glaze

Entree
Grilled Fillet of Beef Tenderloin
with Cherry-Mustard Sauce, Horseradish Mashed Yukon Potatoes, and Fire-Roasted Corn Salad

Dessert
Angel’s Food Cake
with Macerated Mixed Berries

Shopping for the food 4 hours before service is NOT recommended when cooking for 17. But you play the cards you’re dealt. Here’s a time lapse of me prepping while I was still at home (this was about 1.5 hours beginning to end).

    the best part of the time lapse video is watching the bowl of strawberries fill up.
