Brussels sprouts slaw

One of my favorite all-time dishes is this brussels sprouts slaw with maple-glazed pecans and mustard vinaigrette. Here are the shredded sprouts, to be dressed tomorrow with the rest of the fixings. This one (4.5 pounds of sprouts!!) is headed out for an order, but I'll be making us some too. Blackberry pie is in the oven now, and I'm still hoping to make a cipollini compote too. 

And lunch is served

What a good day: to have catered a large lunch, not have felt much stress, enjoyed the process, and shared some really beautiful food. As I'm learning, photographing food inside and with a flash never does it justice -at all!- but here are a few attempts. And almost best of all, there are a few of each dessert left over for moi!
