The holidays are around the corner, and
Trio at the Four Seasons in
Austin has a special menu planned as you celebrate family, friends, and ringing
in of the 2010. Here's some photos from the media holiday preview event
where my photographer and I were invited guests. Their holiday menu is
available Dec. 1-30 except Dec. 24th. The prix fixe menu is $39 per person
and includes a choice of appetizer, entree with sides, and dessert.
Appetizers include winter squash salad (fantastic), seafood souffle (full of
sweet, succulent shrimp), pork belly (as if this needs a description).
Entrees include pheasant, wild salmon, and prime ribeye with maple roasted sweet
potatoes and brussel sprouts as sides. The desserts include warm
gingerbread cake, chocolate-peppermint baked Alaska, and trio of sorbet.
Along with their holiday menu, Trio is also offering a holiday drink menu that
is sure to please. Recipes for the drinks are below. The Smores the
Merrier is highly recommended by yours truly. Enjoy and do check out their
other holiday
events!
Wild salmon with crimini mushrooms and lingonberries.
Winter Squash Salad with pine nuts, raisins, and farm cheese.
This dessert is absolutely fantastic. I ate two servings. It's
