my first dinner party since starting culinary school!!! it has been so long since i have done one of these and after learning so much in culinary school i wanted to try making a three course meal all by myself. the dishes are a roast carrot salad with baby arugula and mustard greens tossed in a lemon vinaigrette, a herb yogurt sauce, garnished with crispy bacon and toasted pumpkin seeds. the second course is a shrimp risotto made with chicken and shrimp stock shrimp meat, crispy oyster mushrooms, and a whole fried shrimp on top. the last dish is a ny strip steak served on top a balsamic pan sauce and garlic mashed potatoes, garnished with fried shallots and lemon zest. i had so so so much fun doing this even though it took a lot of time because it challenged me a lot and got me thinking about being efficient, ingredients to buy, and things i can improve on in the future. this was just my first dinner party for friends and family (my college friend, gf, my sister and her bf) and I am so excited to do more! tell me how you liked this video, i really wanted to get this out to you all before thanksgiving and wanted to thank you all for all the support you show me in my journey so hope you all have a great night, thanksgiving, friendsgiving, weekend, or whatever it is you are planning :D #fyp #culinary #culinaryarts #culinarystudent #chef #food #cook #cooking #dinner #meal #dinnerparty #eat #serve #prep #firsttime #learn #learntocook #recipe #fun #taste #journey #growth #thanksgiving #friends #family
