Night of Love Scholarship Dinner

Every February, The local chef's and local high school, get together and we create a dinner to raise funds for Culinary scholarships. This year I am preparing the passed Hors d' oeuvre's. There will be 5 courses including a intermezzo. I am not sure what the other chefs will be preparing but here are some of my ideas that I may serve. I may have to adjust depending on the seasonal product that is available.

Black truffle risotto, on spoon

Foie gras, wild mushrooms, brioche, dark cherry balsamic

Poached quail egg, applewood smoked bacon, caviar beurre blanc on spoon

Herbed buttermilk waffle, prosciutto di Parma, pecorino, vanilla bean white truffled butter

Braised beef short ribs, caramelized root vegetable confetti, fresh horseradish

Tomato Confit, balsamic, Parmigiano, crustini
