Inn Keepers Friend by Chef Manda

We had a wonderful night with Chef Manda and her Blue Heron Inn specials! Feast your eyes on these beautiful menu items.

The first dish is a Spinach and Bacon Phyllo Triangle.


Out of the oven they come.

They are served with a reduced Balsamic Vinaigrette drizzle, with endive.

The combined flavors are fabulous.

Here are capers and I believe shredded carrots which will turn up later in the main course.




The crew looks one while Chef Manda is browning the salmon.

Here are the finished capers, now mixed in with Japanese bread crumbs (Panko) and honey. Keep watching!

A medely of green beans and zucchini that is cut into long strips, gets crafted into this dish.

The finished product! There is a little bit of citrus added and a beautiful sauce as well.

Just when you think it can't get any better, out comes the dessert!

Fresh local strawberries served over a sponge cake and fresh cream topping.

Chef Manda sits back after the meal is served.

Another very enjoyable evening at the shop. If you have guests in this summer and are looking for a great loding experience in Southern MD, think Blue Heron Inn. Chef Manda will help make your stay a pleasant experience!

Chef Rick from Uno's Joins Us for His First Class!

Chef Rick provided us with a great representation of the Chicago style foods available at Uno's everywhere!

Deanna was our hostess...

and friend John, also professionally trained was the Su-Chef.


The first item up was the Gorgonzola Walnut Salad, and the class is rapidly put to work.


It presents beautifully and tastes even better!





The crew looks on as the Shrimp and Crab Dip gets started.

Just as you would find at Uno's, these are served in a bread bowl.


How's that for a wonderful dish to serve to friends and family?

A few of these were made and passed around.



Keep an eye on this couple!

Some quick knife skills instruction and the dicing begins.

Look at these coming out of the oven. You can just about smell the flavors now.


John is modeling a new clothing line called the Emperor's New Clothes.

It's time to do the final entree, Baked Stuffed Chicken.

Look at these fresh from the convection oven.

It's serving time!

What a great evening. The food was grand and the company even grander! Next time you're up shopping in Waldorf, think Uno's for a meal that is sure to please. We look forward to having Rick back again on the Fall schedule.
