The festivities began with a cocktail of course; Mint Julep Fizz is one for the record books! The food begins with an out of this world dip, Baked Goat Cheese topped with Tomato Confit served with Nan bread. Juicy and crispy Chicken in a Homemade Biscuit is comfort food at its best. For something green we will prepare Blistered and Sauced Asparagus, nutty and crave worthy. We will whip up an Ultimate Chopped Salad, crammed full of goodies, so crunchy and topped with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing. Spicy shrimp Salad served on an avocado half is almost too pretty to eat. Chickpea Crostini, a simple go to that really delivers on flavor. For a beautiful sweet finish we will prepare Fresh Orange Curd, Vanilla Bean Butter Cake and Chantilly Cream that will be transformed into a gorgeous trifle that is irresistible. Class Fee $58.00
