Chef Doug Strikes Again!

Chef Doug from the Officer's Club at Pax River joined us for another entertaining and informative evening. He started off with a beautiful presentation of asparagus bundled inside a yellow squash ring.




Here are some puff pastry fish that started off as sushi but ended us as blackened nuggets!


Here you have a beautiful presentation of Shrimp cocktail w/julienne of pickled vegetables - beets, Daikon Radish, snow peas & carrots: Shellfish sauce & mustard sauce...heavenly!

Look at that presentation!


Prep for the shrimp, scallops and crab meat bisque.



Here is the finished product, topped with a puff pastry fish that is a little bit lighter.




This was the Red wine honey vinaigrette dressing on tossed salad with sauteed wild mushrooms. Flavorful and healthy.


The final dish was a Platter of Duchess potatoes w/asparagus, squash rings, w/Roasted sliced Veal Loin.

Whoops, caught with a rib when nobody was looking!


A beautiful evening devoted to some nice, from scratch "bases" that resulted in some nice stocks, sauces and wonderful flavors! Thanks Chef Doug and we will see you in the Fall!
