as always, thanks for your feedback

All sound good.

sounds great to me, i,ll have one of each lol. as for the pricing i wouldnt have a clue.

WOW all looks wonderful! If I had to choose....

Salad - Mixed field greens with the dried cranberries and balsamic

Entree - Lemon Pepper Chicken

Dessert - Strawberry Shortcake

Question, how would you do the dessert with no whipped cream?

How many hours will you be at their house and is there any prep work you're doing before you get there??

He's agreed to pay $100 fee to have me cook there. I guess 3 hours. I will prep most I can before I arrive.

$20 per person

He was happy with the selections. I am worried about the creamy polenta. I may make it with risotto, then baked it, then grill a 4x4 square per portion. we shall see.


These are both non-dairy

Not to sure about the pricing especially for in home cooking But 33$ and some change an hour sounds pretty damn good to me lol

My choices would be the same as Rooi's (except maybe Chicken Marsala instead) but they all sound so good!

Way to make a name for yourself Neon!

Sounds pretty good, Marsala without butter, interesting. We do a lot of risotto at work but use butter and Romano cheese. Polenta you can make ahead. Use a shhet pan, let it cool then use a cookie cutter, cut pieces then brush with olive oil and grill. No dairy at least.
