Welcome to our new community exchange of recipes, entertaining and cooking ideas.
Throughout the year we (Dining Services) consistently get numerous request for recipes, tertaining ideas and just some basic cooking hints or methods. On the University of Richmond campus we have a wealth of resources including an award-winning Dining Services, several certified chefs in house, a world class catering department and on top of that, a whole lot of people who like food! Using these resources we will be providing a series of events, mini-classes or demonstrations over lunch with everything from dipping strawberries to folding napkins. The events will be reservation only with very limited numbers to keep our classes smaller. We invite you to treat yourself to these events and to be a part of our community of 'foodies'.
Holiday Entertaining
For our final event this semester on November 4th was as good as it sounds! I think everyone has some good ideas for their own holiday entertaining.
The fruit display was incredible (see picture at left), many thanks to Meghan Zazakos from catering for that. We hope she is going to do a demo for us in the spring! The meat and cheese display was just as fabulous. We didn't even want to mess it up but we did and it was delicious. Don't forget the Brie- yes that and all the recipes will be available on line soon!
The Menu Grilled Marinated Vegetables Fresh Fruit Display Crab Bites Souvlaki Skerwers Gourmet Sliced Meats & Cheeses
Brie en Croute with Apples & Pecans Waterchestnuts Wrapped in Bacon Hummus Bar with Spinach, Roasted Eggplant & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus served with Flatbreads Dessert Shooters M & M Pretzels
Fall has to be one of our favorite times of the year. We love all those delicious holidays and fall flavors. So join us as we explore some different solutions to fall menus planning. Our management interns prepared:
Pork Roulade with a Cornbread & Cranberry Stuffing Salmon encrusted with Potatoes (they demonstrated how to do both of these) Mashed Parsnips Braised Dinosaur Kale Butternut Squash Sweet Potato Biscuits with your choice of Honey Butter, Apple Butter or Pumpkin Butter
Cranberry Jewel Cake Upside Down Apple Pie Hot Apple Cider
This was the best yet according to everyone who attended. The November 4 event is just about full so please confirm your reservations to be sure at 804-289-8788 or cstearns@richmond.edu
