I am working on a course meal for Valentines day. Gotta start planning now so I can test everything and tweak as needed. As of right now, it's sparse.

Pre appetizer: homemade pretzel with a piped honey mustard

Appetizer: Mozzarella and basil wrapped together with thin strips of prosciutto. Piped balsamic glaze overtop. (Will need to thicken glaze for it to stick)

Salad: Any ideas? Was thinking of pickled radish's, hard boil egg, red leaf lettuce, and red onion

Main Course: Either duck or a rack of lamb. Sous vide bath for either followed by roasting. The cuts would sit atop a small pool of creme fraiche. Sides would be either minimal starch and whipped potatos or a risotto. Paired with french bread mixed with amylase.

Cheese cleaner: Gruyere overtop a soft baguette slice and piepd with raw honey. Goat type cheese overtop a cracker with almonds and a blue cheese overtop a pita chip with some sort of fig. I want to garnish these better.

Dessert: Flan or cheesecake. Need garnish ideas still.

Not for me. I want to work on proper plating design, contrasting colors, and a flowing food order that doesn't distract from previous or future entrees. And a lot of the stuff will need to be made multiple times to tweak perfectly. Like mashed potatoes.

Instead of just mashing them after cooling. You boil them and peel immediately. Place them in a hand spun mixer as to reduce the amount of starch buildup while also creating air pockets allowing for a more whipped version. Then using ramekins as a plate, but using the back end of a spoon to perforate and whisk up the potato for a nice design. Piped over top a pea/green onion liquid mixture.

The end result is a very airy and light mashed potato that is far less starchy than normal. Add in the piping ingredients for a balance of potato and sweet bitterness.
