Asking the head chef

[outatsea]

I have seen a new forum on cruzwiz where you can ask questions to the Radisson Head Chef directly and might get a reply. Forum must be new as there are no postings yet. There is a subscription fee, but 30 days are free of charge... [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]. I will give it a try and see what's happening.

Hi canadagal, I received an answer today!

I asked following:
I am planning a little dinner next week and would like to suprise my guests with a menu from one of my past cruises. Can you suggest some dishes to me?

Thank you,
OutAtSea

..and received this reply:

Dear Cruizwizer,
This is nice that you contact me for a special dinner suggestion.
The following two menus I would suggest for this time of the year

Menu 01
Mango wedges wrapped with Prosciutto

Fresh Spinach with grapes, pear and blue cheese tossed with Port-wine shallot vinaigrette

Halibut Fillet with Mango-Cucumber Relish, Lemongrass Beurre Blanc
Serve with vegetables in season and pan-fried potatoes

Fresh Berry Napoleon with Strawberry-White Chocolate Mousse



Menu 02
Bouquet of white asparagus served on Tomato Bruschetta

Tuna Tartar with Wilted Greens and Arugula-Lime Vinaigrette

Braised Lamb Shank a la Bonne Femme
Red wine braised lamb shanks with root vegetables and couscous

Papaya and Kiwi Compote with Lime Mint Sauce


With Culinary regards,

I guess I will be able to now to recreate some nice dinners the same way (hopefully) we experienced them onboard during our cruises.
