Kudos to my culinary kid, the Nutrition College student, for preparing a fabulous dinner for her family on Christmas Eve. The four course menu was, as follows:Spinach and persimmon salad with lemon-honey vinaigrette dressing (delicious!)
Sweet potato soup, with the lovely thick broth ladled over portions of light sour cream and cranberry jelly (awesome!)
Homemade ricotta-filled ravioli with mushroom cream sauce (superb, and quite filling)
Mint chocolate tofu cheesecake with whipped topping as an absolutely deadly dessert
Pomegranate and blueberry juice spiked with diet 7-Up as our delightful beverage
The only problem with the feast was that all the other partakers made me wait an extra hour for dessert, as they were "full" from the first three courses. Understandable, but oh so unfair. Actually, I survived somehow and the anticipation only enhanced my taste buds.
Now, who said vegetarian cuisine was boring?
