Take your Boss to work day!

Every Tuesday PJ makes magic in the beautiful RSF kitchen of one of our favorite regular clients. Seeing his menus each week does no justice to what actually transpires in this kitchen! Healthy, light creations of one sort or another to last the couple the whole week- full of color, flavor, fresh from the farm and straight to their fridge. I had the opportunity to shadow PJ last week in order to help hi cut his time down (he had agreed to doing a class at the Prado for me so I could take the evening off)- and we joked that it was “take your boss to work” day at Dining Details!
Some of this weeks selections included: Roasted Cauliflower and Fennel Salad with Jicima and Cilantro Vinaigrette, acorn squash soup, quinoa salad with heirloom tomatoes and cucumber, zucchini wrapped chicken breasts, Sauteed giant prawns fresh from El Pescador… and much more.
Those LUCK LUCKY people! (I must admit… I was a bit jealous!)

A Winter Wedding

Nancy and Mario celebrated an intimate celebration of their matrimony at their beautiful home in Rancho Santa Fe Valley with their closest family and friends.
Working with Red Letter Days’ Mia and Rebecah is ALWAYS a joy; Zack the DJ set the perfect outside ambiance; and the cake, from “CAKE” was simple but amazing, as can always be expected from those wondrous baking goddesses!
Dining Details was honored to be a part of this beautiful event, full of love, sentiment, and gratitude! Happy futures together, Mario and Nancy!
