I asked Mauricio Londono, owner/chef of Ambrosia Fine Food and Catering, to prepare and serve a casual Sunday supper for myself and 10 friends. He created a beautiful and delicious meal for us. Starting with the simple salad of baby arugula and heirloom tomato quarters -lightly cooked- and the most tasty virgin olive oil dressing I've ever had. The entree consisted of salt-crusted breast of duck - that looked and tasted like thinly sliced filet mignon! Served with a mixture of crunchy wild rice and red rice from Tibet. And fresh, perfectly cooked, tender fresh green beans. All ladled over with
a reduction of duck juice, red wine, fresh apricots and dates. Mouth-watering flavors is an understatement. Dessert was a refreshing lemon sorbet -made by the chef. You can imagine why my simple supper was a huge success.
