Charity Dinner

This Saturday (1-11) we're hosting a charity dinner for 8 at my home.  It was auctioned off at a fundraiser for Cincinnati Children's Hospital.  The diners supply the appetite, I supply the food and wine.  The winning bidders are going to be treated to a dinner cooked by yours truly with help from a fellow home chef and a former professional chef - we can't wait!  Here's our menu and I'm open to any and all suggestions or comments:

-Trio of fresh hummus - a roasted red pepper, white cannelloni bean, and basil served with grilled bread and vegetable crudite.  Wine and Cocktails.

-Grilled Caesar Salad
-Ravioli filled with sweet pea, mint, and ricotta served with a lemon beurre monte sauce
-Choice of Chef Jacob's Halibut on Tomato Panzanella Salad with lemon caper beurre blanc or Lamb Chops with a fennel greek yogurt sauce and mint pesto (only one out of the eight chose the lamb!  We had them pre-order so I didn't have to have 8 servings of each on hand, glad I did! I ordered some atlantic halibut from my fish monger, which supposedly is coming in nicely)
-Side of roasted whole head of cauliflower with whipped goat cheese
-Tiramisu

I'll be sure to post some pictures on Monday of the results.  Wish us luck!
