Oyster Mignonette Sauce
Try oyster mignonette sauce. It’s the other cocktail sauce with a more delicate flavor. Start with the “mother sauce”, then tweak it for perfection.
Grilled Picanha
Picanha, underappreciated in the U.S., but prized in Brazil. Grilled properly it has that toothsome texture and charcoal flavor you crave.

Unlike a former President we love roasted brussels sprouts. This is my favorite, roasted and caramelized with honey and brown sugar.
Shrimp Cocktail
The shrimp cocktail began as a cocktail that you drink, and made with oysters instead of shrimp. Are you confused?

Peach Sorbet
Peach Sorbet, with its delicate aroma and flavor is the perfect amuse bouche, re-invigorating your palate between courses.

This Turtle Soup recipe begins in Fort Knox Ky. A fishing trip that included turtles was a marvelous adventure for an eight year old.
