MAIN COURSE: Grilled Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed with Feta and Herbs
|
|
|
Portobello mushrooms are actually fully grown cremini mushrooms, and their large “steak-like” caps were embraced by chefs as a vegetarian grilling star in the 1980s. When grilled, they absorb flavors beautifully—making them the perfect base for a salty, creamy feta filling with fresh herbs.

DESSERT: Croissants
|
|
|
Croissants, though famously French, actually trace their roots to Vienna, Austria! Their ancestor is the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century. Legend says Viennese bakers created it to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Turks — the crescent shape imitating the symbol on the Ottoman flag.
