Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mothers day. Here is what I cooked for mother’s day dinner. It’s seared scallops, morels, ramps asparagus and a morel coulis. I decided on scallops because they taste good, they look nice, and scallops are one of the things that I can cook perfectly in my sleep and I’d hate to screw up mothers day dinner. The other great thing about scallops is that you can pair them with pretty much everything, making them fun to play around with in different dishes. I have paired scallops with fruit, citrus fruit, nuts, porcinis, bacon and many other things. I got the inspiration for this dish from Tom Colichio’s book, Think Like A Chef. If you are interested in cooking and would like to better understand the versatility and seasonality of different ingredients, this is a cookbook for you.
