Big Islands of the World

Instead of eating at a regular restaurant tonight, we decided to try something different and take part in a cooking show and wine pairing.

The menu consisted of five courses and each was paired with a glass of wine chosen by the sommelier.

The first course was eggplant in a phyllo dough package.  Excellent example from Sicily.

A shrimp salad from Hawaii came next and it was probably my favourite.  The slaw was made with green papayas - very unique.

Japan and Jamaica were represented in the next two servings, miso fish and pulled jerk pork.  The last island was Iceland and the chef served ice cream with pannacotta.

Very interesting!
