A Tasting Menu
So it is my wife's birthday and my son and I are planing on making her dinner on Sunday.
The menu at this moment looks like this:
Avocado and Salmon salad
* a small stack of avocado, with a hint of lime, topped with smoked salmon and snow pea sprout garnish and a mango dressing
Thai Mussels
*fresh New Zealand mussels served in a broth of coconut milk and typical thai ingredients (lemongrass, ginger, fish sauce, etc.). Accompanied by some crusty baguette.
Zuccinni Sticks (deep fried)
* one of her favourties, I am going to serve them with a little creamy garlic sauce and a tomato relish
Mahi x 2
*One will be a pepper crusted and seared tuna steak and the other will be served raw (it's sushi grade). the sashimi will be on a bed of wild rice with a wasabi infused oil and the other on a bed of greens (rocket or something peppery).
A selection of birthday cakes
*my son is going to bake three or five small birthday cakes (odd numbers are better) each a different flavour but all looking the same (shape-wise).
I need help. I can't decide on what wines would go best with these dishes... Can someone suggest some pairings?
I also need to come up with some cool names and descriptions for the menu. All suggestions are welcome
