Happy New Year!

Wedding Dinner

Chickpea and potato curry, green salad, black bean and mango salad. In the background: gazpacho, a fresh tomato (actually served as decoration in a bowl with basil, but I rescued it from being art and reclaimed it as food), and a cape cod (vodka & cranberry juice). The meal served at Bela and Jennifer's wedding. Congratulations!

Luckily I shared a table with the couple behind REC(ession)IPIES, who took photographing the meal in stride.

mango & melon salad

A very festive New Years Eve salad, invented by some Swedish friends. Mango, white melon, onion, tomato, and cucumber over a bed of lettuce, topped with toasted pine nuts and a sweet & peppery vinaigrette. Explosive!
