Buffet Presentation
Tuesday, December 21
Today we learned about and prepared for a high-end buffet presentation, with a variety of vegetarian, vegan, fish and chicken dishes, covering a number of different courses. Tomorrow, we will set up our classroom in a buffet style with long tables for presentation and serving of the dishes and tables for eating. It's $7 per person for family, friends and the public to come to this, which is again quite the deal with such a range of natural, mostly organic, non processed dishes, made fresh and with a lot of care. I made the first part of a ceasar salad, with yummy vegan dressing and home-made garlic croutons, and will finish it for presentation and serving, and assist with other dishes.

From Wikipedia:
Forbidden rice is a short-grained, heirloom rice that is black when raw and dark purple when cooked. The name comes from the legend that it was reserved for emperors in ancient China because of its nutritiousness and rarity. This grain is high in fiber and has a deep, nutty taste.
Another theory of why forbidden rice was ever forbidden was that when the Greeks took over the Middle East, they had it banned due to the belief that it was being used by their enemies to aid them in battle.
Forbidden rice has recently appeared on the shelves of health food stores in the Western United States along with other heirloom rices such as Bhutanese Red Rice and Wild rice, particularly in California. It is popular with vegetarians and vegans because it has a favorable nutrition profile. Desire for non-genetically modified foods has also contributed to demand for this rice.
The deep color of black forbidden rice suggests the presence of phytonutrients. It has a relatively high mineral content (including iron) and, like most rice, supplies several important amino acids.
When cooked, "forbidden rice" has the smell of freshly popped popcorn and turns the water that it is boiling in a brilliant purple color.
