What is your cooking specialty? Mine is East Indian chicken curry.

I once catered a wedding using my own curry recipe. Since I offer literally dozens of condiments over a bed of white rice and curry sauce it makes for not only a spectacular presentation, it is an orgiastic explosion of texture, taste, and an incredible palette of colors since I mix in a variety of flower petals and floral greens.

My dessert were these frozen yogurt "tarts" alternating mini-cups of blueberry and orange frozen yogurt matching the brides colors. I served about 50 people. A lot of work but WOW worth the effort and responses were terrific.

What kinds of flowers do you use? You must add them at the end so the color doesn't leach out.

@Tastyfrzz Since it's been many decades since my last endeavor I would have to peruse my recipe. For starters of course is hot curry powder, cayenne pepper, a little allspice, cumin, thyme, garlic, Lawrys seasoned pepper, and a few more. I have to order the florals in advance to ensure they haven't been sprayed, (same with floral greens) color of flowers of course depend on the dinners theme (if there is one, if not, the floral part can be omitted.) I like to experiment so each occasion is somewhat different.

I forgot, Captains Grey's chutney sauce is also a great topping.

@Grateful4you Theresa a penzys' spices nearby I should go check out. I just got fenugreek and ground curry to try in things.

@Tastyfrzz I've heard of fenugreek have never used it though. Some of the best outcomes are from experiments, too many people are afraid to take chances.

@Tastyfrzz Fried chicken isn't a dish I've ever really mastered, too bad since I love the stuff.
