Ashley and Mykol lived in Elbasan, Albania for over a year. Local grandmothers took Ashley under their wings and taught her how to cook some of the most traditional dishes in Albania. While Albania has much more food to offer, these are the dishes someone’s grandmother took Ashley and Mykol and painstakingly taught them how to prepare the traditional way. Byrek is incredibly popular in Albania and you get to choose your flavor of this dish as an appetizer. It is then followed by Tave Kosi Elbasani which is lamb cooked in homemade yogurt with rice. You also get to enjoy traditional roasted potatoes and what comes on the side of most Albanian dishes: tomato and feta cheese. Then you get to enjoy roasted qofte that is the Albanian version of the Italian meatball. For dessert you get to choose from a couple of the classic Albanian desserts. Albania is heavily influenced by Turkish, Italian, and Greek food, but we tried to stick with the dishes that are uniquely Albanian in their interpretation.
This is the meal for the extreme seafood lover. The type of meal where the table will be covered in butcher paper and the clams and shrimp will be dumped out onto the table for everyone to dig in. Then the lobsters will be served fresh steamed and whole. If you need help learning how to crack the lobster both Chef Mykol and Chef Ashley will be happy to help. You get to choose your favorite salad and dessert ahead of time and with 5 courses, this meal is sure to fill you up. Our most expensive offering, the ingredients on this meal have to be the freshest and highest quality for safety. Ashley’s seafood chowder is by far her most popular dish and is frequently requested by all who have tried it.
Created from Chef Ashleys time living in British Guyana, this menu is the culmination of some of her favorite things that she tried while in the country. While Guyanese food is heavily infulenced by Indian and Island food, it has some Amarindian roots as well.
Put on your beret and make sure to put your nose up a little higher in the air when you speak as you enjoy the simple but time tested French menu. French food is rich in flavor and quality. It is served slowly and best enjoyed with wine. With some soft French music in the background this can be a sophisticated and enjoyable evening for all.
