Anniversary Fare
What to do when the award-winning Chef Mark Cole, executive chef at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel, decides, while on a sixth-wedding-anniversary jaunt in Negril, to take over the kitchen at Wine With Me? If you’re Cecile Levee, the establishment’s principal, you applaud the initiative, adhere to the ‘beach white’ dress code, ask invitees to select wine to complement the lobster and fish donated by Christopher Lewis of Leland Seafood, and ready to enjoy a sumptuous fare. Cole, who tantalised the palate of President Barack Obama during his 2015 visit to Kingston, Jamaica, did not disappoint! His menu offerings included curried lobster with brie, grilled fish, veggie quinoa done risotto-style, green salad with apples, grilled garlic bread and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
An unexpected fire show by Okuson Onoura and his troupe brought the evening to a magical close.
