Tasting Elisir

I was invited by Chef Enzo Fargione to the soft opening of his new restaurant Elisir last night to sit for the 7 course tasting menu.  I am not a word person, so explaining the depth of flavors and textures he masterfully used are beyond my vocabulary.  I will simply say "Bravo, Enzo, BRAVO!!  I look forward to the up coming photo shoots and I am honored that you use my services to capture your art.

A sample of what I had going clockwise starting at the top left image:

Roasted Filet of Lamb - wrapped in pancetta and served upright, sambuca braised fennel, roasted artichoke and potato ragu
