Endless Chef Series Ideas

AZUR loves to showcase culinary themes in our Chef Series dinners. Since starting them five years ago, we haven't ran out of fresh ideas yet. Granted some of them are received better than others but they all are unique. AZUR has never been afraid to take culinary risks. Yesterday, the idea for another dinner came to mind while driving down Harrodsburg Road in traffic (one good use of traffic time). The dinner would be themed around the historical preservation of foods - AZUR Preserves. In the past, food was stored great lengths of time using simple natural techniques such as: salt cured, smoked, pickled and sugar cured. At this point, AZUR Preserves is about 6th or 7th in line but exciting none the less. Probably a good fit for a winter month.
