"The Art of Cooking" was the the theme for the Reserve Dinner at
Westminster Place in March. We had 19 residents and guests in
attendance, and had high expectations for the dinner since this was my
first one as Executive Chef. We paired each course with
a suitable wine and completed the dinner with a standing ovation. We
have been hosting the Reserve Dinner for almost two and half years and
each time the bar is set higher. The residents enjoy seeing our
creativity and are able to try food they wouldn't
normally see on our regular menu. A special thank you to Kristine
Baral for doing an exceptional job serving each course and explaining
the wine selection.
