Autumn Dessert Menu 2009











Autumn........my favorite food season. Our new dinner menu is in its developmental stage. I am thinking it will be released in late October, barring any unforseen delays. Luckily, the Autumn desserts have arrived right on time. Chef Marianne has outdone herself this season. Mixing traditional Autumn flavors and techniques with some very interesting twists.
The early favorite among our guests (and staff) seems to be the apple-cheese tart.
A mix of apple pie on top of a cheesecake topped with streusel and warmed in the oven. Crispy and crunchy on top and creamy in the center. As if that wasn't enough, this perfectly executed Autumn delight is accompanied by a light and fluffy whipped chantilly cream that has been accentuated with the flavors of clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice. As you can see by my description, I especially like this dessert. But do not take my word for it, choose your own favorite. Hope to see you all soon.
