First
Course:
(served on the deck

room)

Sure to impress your
guests. This is one
of my "fall back to"
appetizer recipes.

Second
Course:
Northwest Mini Crab Cakes with Orange Sauce
Fresh and Light Crab
Cakes are not only delectable but easy to make. These wonderful crab
cakes make an ideal starter course. These crab cakes were light and airy
and every bit as good as any crab cakes we've ever tasted.

Third Course:
Poached Garlic Soup
This soup recipe is a definite "10." Your guests will never believe
how much garlic there is in this soup. After the garlic has been cooked slowly
for a certain length of time, it loses its harsh rawness and becomes delicate
and refined. This will be one of
your favorite soup recipes.

Fourth Course:
Grilled Rack of Lamb with Pinot Noir Marinade
A very easy and
delicious grilled rack of lamb. The Pinot Noir wine tenderizes the
lamb.
Asparagus Parmigiano
This is my favorite way to prepare and serve fresh asparagus. It is so simple and so good!

Fifth
Course:
Pinot Gris-Prickly Pear Sorbet
The inspiration for this very unusual and wonderful sorbet came to me when planning a gourmet dinner and wine tasting. I needed a new sorbet to impress everyone. The sorbet also need to be wine friendly. This sorbet has a delicate undertone of prickly pear. According to my husband, he gives this sorbet a rating of 10+. |

Sixth
Course:
Chocolate Panna
Cotta with
Port-Balsamic
Cherries
These softly set and
creamy Italian
puddings are so
silky-smooth they
slip down
beautifully at the
end of a meal.
Flavored with coffee
and served with a
chocolate cream adds
a new look to this
popular Italian
dessert. They are
also perfect for
dinner parties
because they can be
made a day or two in
advance and kept
refrigerated until
ready to be served.
