Smiling Faces & Stomachs!

Hello Foodies,

Look at these smiling faces!
(L to R, first row - Gianni, Michael, Tay,

L to R, top row - Dan, Buddha, Melissa (fork), Lisa (fork))

The reason for these smiles was an amazing meal prepared Gian-Michele Savoca, the Tour de Forks Sicily guide. Lucky us!
We started with Gianni's homemade garlic toasts, olives, and pistachios. Also served was a salmon sashimi kimchi prepared by Michael. Out of this world and just the right amount of spice.

Dinner, like our Chef, was Italian. My photos of the food turned out too dark which is so disappointing because I wanted you to see this dinner. First dish served - a beautiful terrine with a bottom layer of mushroom and egg, topped by roasted peppers, fresh tomato, and mozzarella. Balsamic vinegar was drizzled on top followed by a few sprinkles of red pepper flakes. Then came the main course - wild boar osso bucco and rissotto! Dessert was mini pastries by Cipriani. An amazing meal - truly!

If you want to learn how to cook like this, or have Gian-Michele cater an event, go to his website at Highly Eventful. You'll be smiling too!

Enjoy your weekend,

the Forks
