Incredible menu. Any recipes to share?[/quote]

Sure!

The oysters, cheese puffs, and salad are NYT (Melissa Clark)

Ina Garten’s recipe for make ahead Coquilles St. Jacques, but put them in scallop shells instead of gratin dishes (baked for about 15 mins on 400)

The spiedini alla Romana: Sliced sourdough loaf with mozzarella in between the slices, skewer it together, brush with olive oil, toast in oven, then top it all with a caper anchovy sauce (sauce garlic, and anchovy paste, add capers, wine, lemon juice, reduce, then whisk in some butter).

The stuffed shells were my own: Basic sauce (San marzanos, onion, garlic, olive oil).  The filling is ricotta, basil, lemon zest and some pecorino, whipped up in the food processor to make it fluffy.  Top with torn mozzarella, a little more sauce, and some more pecorino.

The tiramisu: springform pan, layer in pannetone, drizzle with coffee , then sweetened whipped cream and mascarpone mixture (whip separately then whip together so it’s pretty stiff), some chocolate chips, repeat, and finish with a dusting of cocoa powder.

Merry Christmas! I am not cooking again until 2024 😂

We make the same stuffed shells down to the simple San Marzano sauce *I used Marcella Hazen's recipe* but I add marscapone also! Sends it over the edge!
