3 Menu Ideas Your Valentine Will Love You For!

Denaldo Bain • January 25, 2019

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, your checklist probably looks like this; Gift Bought, Restaurant Booked, Flowers Bought and Chocolates Covered; Check, Check Check…and Check. But maybe this year you are thinking of keeping it a bit more intimate. Here are a few Ideas that might keep you at home, and keep the kids out!

Onion Tartlet Heat a small 8” skillet pan on low medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil, take one cup of Sliced Onions that have been sliced from halves, add to pan and Caramelize Onions. Add 3/4 cup of Heavy Cream to pan along with ½ Teaspoon of Fresh Crushed Thyme and ¼ Cup of Grated Parmesan Cheese. Reduce heat to low and cook until thickened. Use sea Salt, and Crushed Black Pepper to taste. Spoon filling into pre-baked Salted Pastry Shells, Filo Shells can be used. Top with additional grated Parmesan and Bake at 360 degrees until top begins to brown, about 12 – 15 minutes depending on your oven. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Serve Warm with Sliced Cherry Tomatoes and Garnish with Vegetable Sprouts, Balsamic Reduction & Cilantro Oil.

Variations: Add ½ cup of Cooked Seafood of your choice and increase the Heavy Cream amount to 1 Cup. Seafood should be added when you incorporate Heavy Cream.

Enjoy!

Chipotle Guava Rack of Lamb First you will need to pull out your blender. Rough Chop 1 Small Onion, in the blender, 2 Whole Cloves of Garlic also in the blender, 6 whole Pimentos (Allspice), 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, 1 Teaspoon Fresh Rosemary, ½ Cup of a Smoked Bbq sauce. Add the Flesh of 2 whole Guavas or 4 half shells from a canned Guava product (ensure that you have drained Guavas if using from the can, Add 4 Roasted Chipotle Peppers. When you have all these items in the blender, measure out 1 Cup of Vegetable Oil. Run Blender and slowly add 1 cup of Oil. Blend thoroughly and ensure there are no chunks, the contents of the blender should be smooth and have changed to a rust orange/yellow complexion. Use this Marinade to completely cover your rack of lamb. This can be done ahead of time but not a necessity. Placed Marinade Covered Racks on a Parchment Lined Sheet Pan and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes at this temperature, keep a close eye after 20 minutes of cooking. After 30 minutes has passed reduce oven to a temperature of 360 degrees. Do Not Cover, cook until its internal temperature reaches 160 Degrees. Remove from oven and allow to rest before serving.

For Sauce: Use ½ cup of the Marinade made and add ¾ cup of a table wine like Trivento Mellow Reserve cook on a low heat until sauce reduces by at least ¼ cup.

Enjoy this dish with a Vegetable and Starch of your Choosing!

The Last Dish recommended is a Spiny Lobster dish, the only way it's not enjoyed is if there is an Allergy. Firstly Go by the Ramp at Montague Dock Ask for Yellow Or Pedro they will hook you up with Fresh Whole Lobsters. I recommend you split the lobsters add a Blackened Seasoning, Parmesan and Panko bread Crumbs in a bowl and mix together. Sprinkle a thin lawyer onto split lobsters and Bake them at 380 degrees, Do not over cook keep an eye on the flesh feel it as it just turns white, the meat should be soft as it cooks the meat firms up, Do Not Allow Your Lobsters to dry out. Try using a pan or dish that can hold some water so the steam that evaporates can also cook the lobster meat without drying out. Serve this Split Lobster with Clarified Butter, Lemons and Marinara sauce.

Enjoy your Valentine!

BnBChefs A Luxury Concierge Service For Real Estate

4 Easy Steps That Will Increase Your Real Estate Rental Property Value By 25%

By Denaldo Bain • November 23, 2022
By: Denaldo Bain, Chef & Realtor Increasing your Real Estate Rental Property Value can Happen In 2 Ways! Through increased bookings for the property itself or an increased value in the listed price. A lot of times this is seen by a combination of both methods. But how can you achieve this goal? In the next 4 steps i will give you my personal insight as to how this can happen. Its easy and in most cases wont cost you a dime! #1 Your Property Management - Concierge Services Offered! Property Management is one of the most important things you can have for your rental property. Whether you do it yourself or you hire a professional company or Realtor service. But It goes a little further than just saying that your property is being managed. I have had the opportunity to work exclusively in Luxury Rental Properties as a Personal Chef for the past 20 years. Thats Thousands of clients in hundreds of properties in one of the most Luxurious places in the world The Bahamas. How? by simply filling in the spaces where owners of properties & property managers dont have the time to deal with, Concierge Services! Guests that are staying in these properties require service that is custom to their location, their purpose for the trip, or just simply its what they expect and will pay extra for because its a standard they are used too. This doesn't happen overnight and requires consistency and a standard that exceeds even what they may used too!. I know it works because for 20 years i have not marketed myself as a Chef in this market! But I assure you my success speaks for itself!  #2 Who Is Your Target Audience - Can You Accommodate Kids! If you are serious about your increasing your value then you need to understand who your Target Audience is so you can effectively market to them. A little insight Your Property attracts the same type of clients all the time it really dosen't change! But if you dont target an audience you may see fluctuations in booking, reviews that may not be up to par for your brand or simply you may always be refunding guests or having to explain to your booking platform why you arent doing well. If you aren't doing the numbers and always getting bad reviews and having to refund guests, you may get kicked off that platform, because your reviews will essentially be their reviews. Can You Accommodate Kids? Clients that are travelling as a family and with children are the highest paying customers you will have at your property and they will be consistently booking as a group with the right products offered! Then they will tell everyone because thats what they do! no work for you just great reviews and a marketing team that paid you to do your job. #3 Where Do We Eat! How Equipped Is Your Kitchen Really? The most important room in every home is the Kitchen. Its where we sustain ourselves daily, where we say our goodbyes before leaving out for the day. The kids are doing homework while you cook because for some reason the lighting in the kitchen is excellent! Nothing changes when guests want to rent your home for a vacation or for a shrt extended stay whatever you offer is, chances are they want a home they could cook in like their own! they want to explore and come back as a family and have a meal. This is important to families travelling, remember families will be your most consistent bookings and paying top dollar for a home that feel like a home this happens with having a kitchen they can all fit in! thats equipped with amenities like a dishwasher, Stove, Oven, Knives, Forks, Place Settings etc! A lot of times a home will list we sleeop 16 and when guests check in and decide its time to eat there arent enough plates, forks, knives dont match, i could go on but you get my jist! Remember most homes are managed by owners and professionals and still this occurrence happens. at no ones fault other than this is a really tough jopb to keep up with and most times you may be paying someone to ensure these things are in place. If they are not the client will be unreasonalble and feel as if you just wanted their money and will as for a refund, call you daily with problems because now everything is a problem, because someone had to wait to eat! #4 Why You Should Add A BnBChef Service To Your Property BnBChefs specialize in providing Luxury Food Concierge Services.
