#1 - three canapés with pesto, white bean & sage, olive tapenade.
Sauvignon blanc, CA.
#2 - maple parsnip soup with yogurt and pine nuts (recipe from Regent College).
Semi-dry Riesling, CA.
#3 - butternut pumpkin flan with red wine shallot sauce and greens.

Merlot, CA.
#5 - pumpkin roulade (30th birthday cake).

#6 - cream mints, ethical bean de-caf coffee.
