May 3rd 2010 at the Union Square Ballroom//
Our good friend val and her company (NYCCAH) The New York Coalition Against Hunger, threw a "Spring into Swing" event to raise money and awareness for the charity. The evning consisted of speeches by some well knew NYC names, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and of course a silent auction. SHORTBREAD NYC donated a gift basket full of delicious and healthy baked goods and Jonathan donated a gourmet sit down dinner for 6. All the raised money from the auction went to NYCCAH. It was a really great night, great music and always great people out to support a cause!
Now I don't normally blog about the so called "main dish" but I just had to this time! Not to brag or anything... OK I will! It's pretty awesome dating a chef I will say that! Even if its just your standard monday night dinner, a) its always perfectly plated and b) it AWALYS tastes mind bogglingly delicious!! This time he made seared sturgeon that rested on top of blanched asparagus and an asparagus puree. It was topped with roasted truffles and morel mushrooms, and finished with some wild baby greens from the farmers market. Mouth watering yet?
