Poached Salmon with Lemon Mayonnaise
Start with Belgian endive spears filled with caviar of red salmon, golden whitefish or black lumpfish. Serve with your favorite Champagne or Chardonnay.
Lobster and Shrimp Bisque
Although bisques tend to be thick and creamy, the following intensely flavorful version is light, with very little cream added.
Lemon Meringue Ice Cream
The meringue bits will stay crisp in this ice cream for about 2 days. The ice cream is still delicious, however, when the meringue is softened and the texture more uniform.
The ice-cream mixture (before meringue is added) will easily fit into a standard 1-quart ice-cream maker.
Paniolo Rack of Lamb
Because the lamb in this recipe is marinated in a barbecue-style sauce and then grilled, the hotel nicknamed the dish "paniolo", which means "cowboy" in hawaiian.
Guacamole
Doña Tomasa and other Oaxacans often thin their guacamole with water to make a dipping sauce. Sometimes a little cream or milk is added as well.
Sole with Herb Butter
A specialty of chef Eileen Joyce. This is as deliciously simple as fresh fish gets.
