a couple hired me to do a private dinner for them, for their 50th anniversary... i was wondering what i could do that would make this event a bit more special than the typical dinner together? any suggestions? thoughts?

50th....is golden......you can theme it around what they like and gold....have gold leaf or powder on dessert.

Amuse....

Salad....gold beets

Entree....saffron risotto/shellfish/yellow-orange pepper puree


Dessert....? gold leaf

you and i see eye to eye on this one... i wanted to incorporate gold leaf in the dessert... (at least thats the only place i could think of getting it in)

How about a 50 year old malt whisky. Or some other spirit thats been maturing for 50 years? Obviously a great expense but they may be happy to pay for it.

Mind you, they may have thought of that independently. Just a thought
