Designing the menu for this year's VD dinner for my wife (actually will be Sunday since she is off on a fiber day with her friends tomorrow - Kittycat would understand). She never knows what the menu would be so looking for feedback.
Cocktails - Chocolate Martini - Only cocktail she drinks so this is pretty much a given
Appetizer - smoked salmon cheesecake
Soup - Shrimp and garlic with mushroom caps and Pernod
Wine - prosecco
Main course
Poached Cornish game hen with tarragon
Portabello mushroom caps with Tuscan bean salad
Wine - torn here between a good white bordeaux or Pinot Grigio - leaning towards the Bordeaux
Dessert
Fresh cherries with late harvest Vidal Zabaglione
Coffee/Tea
I think I have a good balance, though the opening is a little fish heavy, but I haven 't come up with something for the apetizer that really appeals within the genres. all recipes are actaully low fat/low sodium etc, so thought it sounds heavy it really isn't.
I have tomorrow to revise before shopping, so any input would be appreciated
