Hom Nom turned 1 in April! Happy Anniversary! To honor the occasion, I decided to host a party for avid Hom Nom fans.
I didn't know what kind of party to throw, but I knew it had to involve the following three elements: pink, hearts, and brunch. These three things are my favorite things in the world. When I mentioned to Mai that I would be hosting a brunch, she graciously offered up her apartment to host the celebrations.
Then came the fun part: picking the menu. Naturally I turned to Smitten Kitchen for guidance. There I found recipes for scones and baked french toast. I knew I had to serve lemon curd because, logically, what else would you serve with scones? I also found a great egg souffle dish on saveur.com. The final question that remained was what to make for dessert? Something light to offset the heavy carbo-overload. I know this all seems like a lot of food. But, I was able to prep most of it in advance. I made the scones on Wednesday, the lemon curd on Thursday night, and prepped the two main dishes at Mai's on Friday night. That same evening, Mai and I decided we needed some kind of amuse bouche - so we decided to also make a mousse with berries and fresh whipped cream.
Thank you Mai for hosting at your apartment, thank you Paul for being a wonderful barista and preparing lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos on demand, and thank you Jack for being lovable and cuddly.
And onto the pink glittery hearts extravaganza...
