this particular menu is one that i generated 10 years ago for a client in phuket, thailand. after working on it for close to 2 months, conceptualizing, compiling recipes, sourcing all the ingredients, and ordering all the kitchen equipment and place settings specifically for it ... the client decided to change the theme from tropical influenced mediterranean to thai fusion. this menu, in its entirety never made it to the table, individual dishes have shown up in other venues over the years.

Such a shame that your client changed his mind, this menu is so inventive!
I love reading and creating menus, although I don't get to do it that often, the creating that is, usually only for small dinner parties -- can't wait to see what menu from your archives you post next!
andrea: at some point in time since writing that menu all of these dishes have appeared somewhere. although that client did not benefit from it, others did.
if i learned anything from my mentor, chef ted [ http://restaurantsolutions.com/team_detlev_martitsch_kreiner.htm ], it is the importance of the manner in which you write a menu. it sets the stage for everything that will follow.
