As the echoes of laughter and the lingering aromas of culinary delights settle from Ha’Penny’s inaugural International Women’s Day Journey Thru Food luncheon, we find ourselves brimming with gratitude for your presence and fellowship. Your participation added an extra layer of joy and celebration to an already memorable event.
From the first bite to the last sip, the journey through various cuisines and cultures was nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Ralph Motta curated a menu that honored the diverse flavors of the world.
Our culinary adventure commenced with tantalizing Manchego Potato Croquettes from Spain, perfectly paired with the crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, Ladoucette Sancerre Comte Lafond. The burst of flavors in each bite was a fitting precursor to the culinary voyage that lay ahead.
Next, we embarked on a voyage to Peru and Costa Rica with a vibrant Hearts of Palm Ceviche, accompanied by the invigorating Dry Riesling, SA Prum Blue Riesling. The Leche De Tigre brought a symphony of flavors, representing the rich culinary tapestry of these beautiful countries.
The pièce de résistance, Coq Au Vin with Cauliflower Puree and Haricot Vert, transported us to the heart of France. Paired with the velvety Pinot Noir, Rodney Strong Russian River Valley, each mouthful was a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail of our talented chef.
And finally, as we reached the sweet conclusion of our journey, we were treated to the indulgent Passion Fruit Queso Flan with Berries and Mint, representing the vibrant culture of the Virgin Islands. The effervescent Montes Sparkling Angel served as the perfect companion, elevating the dessert experience to new heights.
But beyond the culinary delights, this luncheon was a celebration of women—women who have made indelible marks in the culinary world and at Ha’Penny. It was a tribute to their strength, creativity, and unwavering spirit.
To our esteemed guests, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for gracing us with your presence and for joining us on this culinary odyssey. Your support and enthusiasm have made our inaugural International Women’s Day luncheon an event to remember.
Until we embark on our next gastronomic adventure together, may your days be filled with delicious flavors, cherished memories, and the empowering spirit of womanhood.
