Morrelli’s Kitchen

07/05/2026

One of my favorite menus I’ve put together this year.

A Japanese-inspired tasting menu built around bright flavors, seasonal ingredients, and plenty of contrast throughout the meal.

The menu featured:

• Miso-Plum Duck & Sesame Focaccia

• Sweet Potato Korokke

• Spring Roll & Fried Rice Nest

• Seared Sea Scallops with miso squash purée, yuzu-thyme emulsion, tomato confit, capers, and pickled shallots

• Spring Vegetable Miso Broth

• Chilled Spring Vegetable Soba

• Charred Soy-Balsamic Petite Filet with shiso chimichurri, roasted shiitakes, and daikon purée

• Five-Spice Grilled Chicken Thighs with ginger-scallion oil and cucumber-sesame salad

• Sake-Miso Sea Bass with wasabi purple sweet potato purée and shaved fennel citrus salad

Finished with a Mango & Coconut Panna Cotta with kaffir lime syrup.

Now back to the kitchen to start planning the next one.

This recent elopement dinner featured a handcrafted charcuterie display, burrata bruschetta with roasted tomato confit, confit tomato tartlets, and a beautifully plated surf-and-turf featuring filet mignon and crab-stuffed lobster tail.

One of my favorite parts of being a private chef is helping couples celebrate life’s biggest moments around the table. From menu design and sourcing to ex*****on and cleanup, every detail is handled so you can focus on what matters most—each other.

Congratulations to the newlyweds, and thank you for allowing Morrelli’s Chef Services to be part of your special day.
