Dinner, Max Style

Max is not only a busy doctor, but also has a passion for food and cooking it. Lucky us. While we were at Graceland he and Sue started preparations for dinner. The basis was a Thomas Keller, French Laundry inspired degustation - with Max adaptations. When we arrived home at 4pm the kitchen looked like a cyclone had hit it. Dinner was at 7pm! I suggested Max conduct the procedures - while Sue, Mark and I sous chefed. I don't know how we did it - but his vision was achieved. Six small courses - a parmesan tuile with goats cheese; three different cherry tomatoes with tomato sorbet and chive oil (amazing); avocado and cucumber salsa with shrimp; a delicious cheese pastry , with a slow cooked slice of beef steak tomato, roasted peppers on top and a drizzle of reduced balsamic; slow cooked pork with roasted carrots, and a peach tart for dessert. Wine to match each course and more. John and Lucille joined us for dinner. I was too busy eating, drinking and taking to take photos unfortunately.
