Even though some may still wallow in some of last nights’ flavours, it is time to announce the next Encontro dos Sabores suppernight happening Tuesday Nov. 19th

I have set myself a new challenge and will create a dinner with CARAMEL as the main ingredient. Those who had the chance to enjoy last years’ “Death by Chocolate” are already convinced that something usually known as a sweet can actually turn into a whole tasty dinner experience. And which month would be better suited than November to turn you into Caramel addicts?! I still have a little backlog in time as I was travelling for most of October. Time just allowed to test-cook the Autumn dinner and start thinking about the next menu. Hence, once more I am calling on your culinary curiosity and courage to sign up without knowing what will finally be on the plate.

    But here is today’s – yet untested – menu plan:

Tuna Tartar with Rasperry Balsamic Vinegar Caramel – Vegetable Caramel Bouillon

Scallops with Vanillasauce & Balsamic Caramel

Poached Apple in Manzana Caramel

A Cafe Gourmand with Caramel Sweets

 

 

 

Let me know by November 10 latest if you’d like to join, so I can timely enough send out your confirmations. As usual, the evening starts around 6.30 pm. Price: CHF 75 with & 65 without alcohol

Please let me know if you are allergic to anything, I want to make sure you only eat what is good for you. And if you liked you last stay @ Encontro dos Sabores and would like to share it with a friend, please do so!

I look forward to welcome you at my table!

Nancy

 

ps: If you want to check out previous dinner rounds, have a look here. The “Yummy Autumn” pic’s will be up before the end of the weekend, but for now, I wish you all a lovely weekend, despite the fog –  a clear sign that November has started 😉

pss: Counting the Chocoholics who want to have their seat already confimed before the official launch it seems that the Chocolate Dinner set for December 6 is already overbooked. I am playing with the idea to make it thus a special Encontro and find a venue which would allow serving more than the home-based 8 foodies. If you know you want to join the December dinner, please let me know asap so I could sort out a special solution!

mmhhh… I have been to a cooking class last night where we prepared some absolutely delicious fish dishes. You can really look forward to discover my learnings in one of the coming dinner rounds.

Thank you all for your feedback to the September edition. It seems that some of you are really excited to meet the tomato in all the varities I’ve been putting together. And so do I.

I will confirm participations still today. For all the ones that don’t make it this time, October is coming soon! Have a look at the upcoming dates and mark them early in your personal agenda!!

And most important, enjoy the sunny late summer weekend ahead of us.

cheers, Nancy

I am extremely happy about the feedback. It was a fantastic but hot opening of Encontro dos Sabores. The guests enjoyed the food and I enjoyed the guests.

I am sorry for all those who couldn’t join the very first event.But: After the dinner is before the dinner. I am busy thinking of the next motto and will soon announce date, menu and call for sign ups.

Thank you all who participated in N°1 for creating such a great atmosphere.
And stay tuned!
