Plan your Holiday Event at Cafe Presse
Looking for a great space for your Holiday party? The back room at Cafe Presse is available for large groups or private parties. You can reserve the entire room, which seats up to 45 people, or just take half.
Or a table for a Holiday lunch? While Cafe Presse usually only accepts dinner reservation, during the month of December, we are accepting reservations for lunches Monday through Friday. Call Cafe Presse for more details at 206 709-7674.
Thanksgiving
6-hour red wine braised beef shank with root vegetables.
The traditional American Thanksgiving Dinner menu doesn’t have much traction around my house. Too much work for the payoff. I guess I am just not a turkey guy (although I do love a well make a pumpkin pie).
Instead, I prefer a combination of dishes made ahead, high quality purchased items, and slow simmered dishes that pretty much cook themselves on the corner of the stove, bubbling away all day.
This years menu?
Appetizers
Sardine rillettes; Sliced jambon Serano; pickled asparagus
First Course
Salad of Napa cabbage, fennel, treviso, satsumas and walnuts with walnut-grain mustard vinaigrette
Main Course
6 hour red wine braised beef shank, with carrots, turnips, beets and rutabagas
Roasted Brussels sprouts
Boiled brown rice
Cheese Course
Pico; Kukulu pur chevre; Langres
Fig jam; Imperial Valley dates
Dessert
Roasted bosc pears with caramel sauce
PS: Its also a lot easier when you are only cooking for a few people.
