I did a 7 course meal last week for some of my wife's colleagues. Unfortunately I'm missing two photos - chilled avocado soup which I served with the crab and lemon shortbread with fresh whipped cream and berries.

What, no vegetarian option? I'll have the salmon followed by the steak, please. :)

not on this occasion. i once did a 10 course meal for 10 people - one was a vegetarian and one was a vegan. that was kind of a pain as i had to prepare 18 different dishes. it was funny though, at the end of the meal, the vegetarian, who hadn't had red meat for over 10 years) was eating everything i prepared. :)
 
Everything looks wonderful. It's like an amateur Iron Chef presentation. As I'm learning to cook right now, I really admire those dishes. The presentation is amazing as well.
 
If the meal tasted as good as it looked, and didn't have you running for the Pepto or a toilet ... congrats. :p
 
:rolleyes:Id need 2 plates of everything at those small sizes! :p

i know this was tongue in cheek, but you'd be surprised how much food that actually is. beyond that, i served a wine pairing with each dish. these guests were all men and they were content with the portions. if they were still hungry, i would have thrown in a couple of frozen pizzas. :D

Glad you knew I was kidding. Sometimes sarcasm can be so hard to convey through text!

Though I'd pass on the salmon. YEEECK!
 
Every time I see this pictures I keep on saying to myself that you have real nice skills on your hands. Congrats, again.
