We planned a quiet Sunday afternoon brunch with the one of the best chef's in Asheville. Chef Brian came to our home and prepared a decadent afternoon gourment spread. Beef tenderloin with 4 different sauces, pork belly, panzanalla salad, peach fennel salad, cannolis and strawberry lemon tart.s were the stars of the enticing food.
Flowers were brought home from the wedding and placed throughout the house.
This one was placed on top of my French Bistro shelf in the middle of the dining table. The table is now ready to be filled with salads and breads.
