Vegetarian Gourmet tasting Menu in Bournemouth with ChefGary,






This weekend I produced an enticing eleven course vegetarian menu for Pete, Carly, Hayley and Carl. Each time cooking for the four of them has been a fabulous experience, producing an array of tantalising vegetarian cuisine. Giving me total free range with the menu throughout, it always gives me  a chance to try out new dishes with innovative flavour and texture combinations. With the exception of offering a split choice main-course so the guys could be tempted with some delicious duck, every course was strictly meat and fish free, also serving up some vegan dishes too. 







The whole event went brilliantly, with the canapes and the first few dishes being served around the kitchen table before moving into the dining room. The evening was incredibly rewarding, having great feedback after each course, with the food being served over about four hours in total. There was plenty of excitement during the night, with some fabulous gin and red wine, but the most exciting part of the evening came from a very special cameo appearance from an excellent Tom Hardy lookalike :)
