Saint Patrick’s Day came early around Chez Hay this year! Friday evening we had the opportunity to cater for Prairie Schooner at the Sheldon Art Gallery. The menu consisted of Irish fare: Rarebit Crostini, Parsnip Fondue with Irish Soda Bread and Cheddar Cheese Cubes, Corned Beef & Cabbage Pastry Puffs, Fruit and Cheese, Irish Car Bomb Truffles, and Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with Bailey’s Irish Crème Frosting. Over 100 people enjoyed the Irish food, Guinness, and Shamrock Martini’s! To make your own Shamrock Martini, combine equal parts Irish Whiskey, Bailey’s, and Kahlua.

The next night, we were back at Sheldon for an “Art & Bubbly Event.” Guests enjoyed dessert (Dark & White Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Black & White Cookies, and Cheesecake Pops) and had the chance to sample three Sparkling Wines.

Nordic food is a popular trend for 2012 that not many people saw coming.  Most will crave the comfort the Scandinavian food offers. In short, it will remind you of what Grandma used to make.

Igniting the taste buds include: Yellow Pea Soup, Lefse (flatbread), Gravlax (raw salmon), Mazarin Torte, Skagen Toast (baby shrimp, crème fraiche, caviar, and dill), Lihamojakka Beef Stew, and Chicken Fricassee with Mushrooms & Dill Dumplings.

If these basic menu items remind you of home, let us know. We would love the chance to create the comfort food for you! What food do you miss most from your childhood?
