My instructions were simple - as befits those coming from a group of elementary and/or high school teachers - four courses - four different islands, one of them Caribbean, one of them southeast Asian, the other two my choices - spicy… “picante”, but not so much so that the dishes wouldn’t pair with wines - suggest wines. Minor complications - two vegetarians - one person allergic to onions, another to cucumbers, melons, and avocados… Go.
Comment from the hostess:
"Had a wonderful time Island Hopping with you. Your dishes were truly innovative. Hands down your callaloo won our votes. The cashew/chili puree accompanying the seitan should be bottled and sold! Agreeing with you, the chocolate sushi was not chocolatey enough, although the minted ‘wasabi’ was excellent. Food and service were outstanding. Thanks again." - J.B.
