Doing work away from work!?!

We were happy to enjoy another chef visiting! Executive Chef Duffy and Chef Deal from the restaurant Tristan in Charleston, NC. http://www.tristandining.com/
They came for a retreat, but instead we asked them to do us a favor...they had the pleasure to prepare dinner for 2 events, back to back away from work :)

Both evenings had similar menus, above
King Salmon, English Pea, Mirin and Rice, Sugar Snap Pea Jus, and Green Pea Tendril.
It was some of the freshest and cleanest flavors of this whole season!
Jon on the left and Chef Ciaran Duffy on the right, plating another of the evenings dishes.

I was very lucky to be able to work on their dessert. They had very thorough recipes that they handed over, I enjoyed preparing and presenting the beautiful dessert for both evenings.
Zucchini Bread, Spiced Custard, Brown Butter Ice Cream, Treacle,and Zucchini Coulis.
Jonny and I enjoyed our guests so much, we hope to go visit their Establishment some time this winter and work along side them again and the rest of their staff.
