Kitty, the owner of the house suggested if we wereinterested she'd make arrangements for us to
ahve a personal chef come in and cook for us
one night. That sounded great and it WAS great.
He started us off with a chilled melon and mint soup.
It was excellent. There wasn't a drop left.
I am usually not a chilled soup person, but my cup was licked dry too.
His name was Dimitri. He was nice and very professional and made a 3 course meal for us including home made "death by chocolate" type dessert. All I can say is Yummo!
This salad was fresh local greens, herbs, roasted red peppers, delicious vine ripe tomatoes and a warm piece of Chevre (with a great nose) alongside hand carved tomatoe roses. Very creative. We paired our courses with very nice red wines from the region which we purchased from the wine cave just above the house on the back road. I can't tell you how nice it was (and funny) to walk out the back door, and 30 steps away there was a wine cave open all the time. The lady was really nice and friendly too.
Main Course... Roasted Lamb topped with herbed bread crumbs with stuffed tomatoe, roasted garlic a beautiful delicate sauce drizzled over top and broccollini. Just gorgeous.
It started getting cool outside so we moved in alongside the fire to enjoy dessert. It was fantastic. Thank You Dimitri!!!
