A few days ago, I posted about a dinner that I helped my husband prepare as part of the Portland Fruit Tree Project’s Orchard Series. It was a pretty amazing experience — as you can imagine when you’re cooking for 40 people in an urban garden and this is the kitchen.
And the spread my husband put together was pretty spectacular. It started with some passed appetizers…
Then it moved into the seated courses, all served family style — starting with the appetizers.
And then on to dinner…
Yes, that’s right — sunflower seed risotto. It was a first for me — and it was delicious!

“Compost” Beef: Seared striploin (rubbed with coffee grounds and herbs), yellow beans, blackberry bordelaise and shoe string potatoes — my favorite dish!
And then a palate cleanser…
And finally:
I was at this dinner and everything was as delicious as it looks.

I’m just annoyed that I wasn’t invited! Everything looks so yummy and creative!
Wish you could have come and dined! It was certainly a fun event. =)
