Not that this renowned dessert requires an introduction, but please indulge me for a moment.One of my absolute favorite desserts to prepare is crème brûlée. Also known as Burnt cream or Trinity cream, this delightful treat features a luscious, soft custard base topped with a layer of hard caramel. And it is simply divine!What I love most about this dessert is the endless potential for experimentation. While vanilla is typically the base flavor, it opens the door to a variety of other flavors that can be just as delectable.Additionally, you can get creative with the garnish, using seasonal fruits to elevate the taste and texture of the dish. There’s such elegance in its simplicity… I absolutely adore it!...#privatechef #cheflife #foodie #chef #foodporn #food #catering #personalchef #instafood #chefsofinstagram #foodphotography #foodstagram #delicious #caterer #foodlover #cooking #mealprep #dinner #privatedining #yummy #foodblogger #privatedinner #travelingchef #healthyfood #seafood #instachef #foodgasm #foodiesofinstagram #foodnetwork #cateringservice ...

I will always always always have a deep appreciation and cherish clients who land up becoming our brand ambassadors. Besides the fact that it is great for business ( can’t deny that ), to me personally it is a beautiful reminder that this path that i chose for myself was the perfect path to walk after all. Everytime this happens, I am humbled and joyous at the same time. What a lovely feeling that is❤️So a big shout out to Ben Lawler for recommending us to Nicole. We absolutely appreciate you!Nicole Conner reached out to us to celebrate a lovely birthday dinner with a few close friends. The theme of the evening was to amplify European sophistication and elegance. We knew that there would be ample wine and champagne flowing that evening, so our job was to create a menu that complimented that evening. Now any family that is wonderful to host such a gorgeous event is a blessing and we made sure we were up to the mark in delivering the same.We rolled out a fabulous spread made up of; * Potato Chip with tangy creme fraiche,briny black caviar and Dill* Golden, crispy Arancini with garlic Aioli / tomato sauce * Caprese Salad fresh Basil, Beets, Olive oil and sea salt* Succulent Jumbo Shrimps in shallot cream sauce or Harissa Sauce or Lobster cream sauce *Linguine Pasta with nutty pesto sauce and shaved aged parmesan * Slow Cooked Duck Confit with carrot puree with Asparagus/ BroccoliniThe empty plates and smiles on the guest faces were indication enough that we hit bulls eye! Not an easy task when surrounded by people with exceptional palettes. Thank you for trusting us Nicole. We had an amazing time bringing this to life.And thank you Edina and Bree( our lil wonder kid) you guys astonish me, as always. ... See MoreSee Less

If you know me, you know that i have a certain fondness for dishes that come with an interesting backstory😄The Alheira, a spicy Portuguese delight, comes with a twisty tale of cunning and cleverness. Created by Jews in the late 15th century, they found a sneaky way to dodge the Inquisition's watchful eye by pretending to be chowing down pork sausages! With a hefty dose of garlic (“alho” hence the name “alheira” ), they masked the absence of pork with a mix of poultry, game, and a fluffy bread blend. This dish became popular almost instantly, and these days, you can find Alheiras in all sorts of meaty styles across Portugal, even pork!But stories aside, every version of this sausage is mind blowing!...#portuguesefood #portugal #foodporn #food #instafood #lisboa #foodphotography #gourmetsandwich #foodie #lisbon #sintra #portuguese #comidaportuguesa #bacalhau #o #restaurante #restaurant #foodlover #lisboapontocome #porto #bifanas #portuguesechefs #pregonopao #nopao #gastronomia #foodinstillspassion #newarkfoodie #foodhashistory #jerseycityeats #taobom ...

Ingredients are gorgeous by themselves but the beautiful symphony that is created when the right ingredients are bought together sometimes feels like downright sorcery. This dish exemplifies that perfectly!* Shrimp brings this delicate sweetness and a salty undertone, with a savory umami flavor.* Wasabi brings this pungent, aromatic, and slightly sweet flavor with a clean, white heat.* Sesame brings this mild, sweet, and nutty flavor with a satisfying crunch.The combination of these ingredients, that are special by themselves, is the closest you will get to heaven in a single bite. But then again that’s just my opinion😄😄😄 Have you tried this lovely dish yet? DM us if you would like to have a little taste of heaven. ...#privatechef #cheflife #foodie #chef #foodporn #food #catering #personalchef #instafood #chefsofinstagram #foodphotography #foodstagram #delicious #caterer #foodlover #cooking #mealprep #dinner #privatedining #yummy #foodblogger #privatedinner #travelingchef #healthyfood #seafood #instachef #foodgasm #foodiesofinstagram #foodnetwork #cateringservice ...

We take absolute pride in planning our menus. So when we see patterns emerging when people ask us to customise, it is always intriguing and quite amusing. Turns out our popular menu this season is our Duck dishes! Who would have thought and I understand why cooking duck can be a little intimidating but don’t worry about it. All you need to remember is; - If you want really crispy skin, don’t forget to score the skin. - Duck fat is the best to baste the duck you are cooking - Soaking it in a little Coca-cola makes it more tender and adds a bit of sweetness.We had the opportunity to create a lovely duck dish for Michelle, quite recently. Michelle Paige and her friends reached out to us quite recently to celebrate a birthday as well as a friend’s anniversary. They were in the mood for something exotic and the duck was apparently a ‘must have’! So of course we put on our thinking hats and tried to combine flavours that compliments each other in the menu.The outcome of which was a scrumptious menu made up of; * Arancini with truffle cream sauce* Beef Carpaccio , cheese, arugula, truffle vinaigrette* Lobster Thermidor oven gratinated * Duck confit, ragout of three beans * Pistachio crusted Lamb Loin* Scallops with Sicilian Spice, white wine, mushroom, tomato, basil * Crème brulee with Berries Their excitement and feedback after the meal on the different preparations and flavours we plated up left us absolutely thrilled! It was an absolute pleasure, Michelle!And of course thank you Bree and @rasmi_liya , you were wonderful, as always. ... See MoreSee Less

Chanfana is the ultimate stew party starring an old goat, and it’s a central Portugal classic!But why the old goat, you ask? Well,there are different versions to the story! One legend claims that during the French invasion of 1810, they snatched up all the fancy food, leaving behind only the tough old goats as their leftovers. Others say these old-timers were put to the culinary test after retiring from their milking days. Either way, the magic happens when you slow-cook that tough meat in a bath of red wine, herbs, and spices, transforming it into a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece! Traditionally simmered in black earthenware pots in a cozy wood-fired oven, Chanfana is still the life of the dinner table today and rightly so!...#portuguesefood #portugal #foodporn #food #instafood #lisboa #foodphotography #gourmetsandwich #foodie #lisbon #sintra #portuguese #comidaportuguesa #bacalhau #o #restaurante #restaurant #foodlover #lisboapontocome #porto #bifanas #portuguesechefs #pregonopao #nopao #gastronomia #foodinstillspassion #newarkfoodie #foodhashistory #jerseycityeats #taobom ...

This magical utensil can be stuffed with a seafood love fest, featuring fish, shrimp, and a party of crustaceans, all mingling with white wine, spices, and a veggie crew that might include cilantro, tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Originally from the sunny Algarve, this dish is a must-try along Portugal’s southern coast! Just stroll through any beach town, and you’ll find a place where cataplana is the star of the show! ...#portuguesefood #portugal #foodporn #food #instafood #lisboa #foodphotography #gourmetsandwich #foodie #lisbon #sintra #portuguese #comidaportuguesa #bacalhau #o #restaurante #restaurant #foodlover #lisboapontocome #porto #bifanas #portuguesechefs #pregonopao #nopao #gastronomia #foodinstillspassion #newarkfoodie #foodhashistory #jerseycityeats #taobom ...
