Comfort Food Blackbox

Yesterday we had our final practical in Culinary Trends class.  We had to choose a comfort meal; a main and a dessert, from our childhood and revamp it to be a meal you could potentially sell for $35 in a restaurant. 

Below is my main dish.  Meatloaf rolled in a tea buscuit dough, parsnip/potatoe puree and broccoli sauted in garlic and shallot.  The sauce is simply tomato soup, Campbells of course.  In the meatloaf I also added sauted cremini mushrooms, garlic, shallots and thyme.  The crust is light and flakey.  Which is great because it doesn't normally turn out perfect!  lol  I had decided to change my biscuit recipe a couple of days before. Good thing I did!


My dessert is a chocolate peanut butter tart, raspberry coulis and whip cream. 



My super amazing roommate and I tied for highest mark in the class for our dishes! So it was a pretty good day.
