LEMON CURD PAVLOVA With fresh berries and a caramel cage.
Have you ever eaten a bowl of cereal at 3 o'clock in the morning? Have you ever traveled many miles to get your favorite milkshake? Have you ever ordered cookies from a small bakery half way across the world? Have you ever driven an hour and a half to get your favorite chinese food? Have you ever bought an extra fridge to store the most delicious homemade baklava in order to have it when the craving strikes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the club.

Dazzling Dinner Parties are back in 2014. Adding an extra course or two is always a Guilty Pleasure.
Now that the holidays are in full swing, it's time to start planning an extravagant dinner party for next year that features a certified Guilty Pleasure or two on the menu? And why not? You certainly deserve it! Hosting this well-earned milestone celebration with your best friends is probably long overdue.
With an improving economy, the timing is perfect for a more opulent approach to intimate celebrations. Let's start your evening with the pleasure of enjoying pared wines with each course and a slower-paced meal with the people who matter the most. When your sitting in the front row as you often do, why not dine elegantly with an extra course or two? Having a fourth or fifth course at the ready, is the only way to dazzle in 2014. There are just too many incredible gastronomic delights to enjoy and for this fabulous feast, you should not forgo any of them. I ask that you consider last evening's Fourth Course, Chef Ameerah and Thin Mint's incredible dessert.....
