Professional Chef Alex takes vegetarian dishes and makes them so fantastic that you won't miss the meat or fish. Alex starts with an eggplant parmesan that has layers of crispy baked eggplant, homemade tomato sauce, and bubbly cheese. Alex serves it up with a squash caponata - a magical combination of squash, capers, golden raisins, and red wine vinegar. You won't believe the taste. Finally, a grilled Portobello mushrooms drenched in tangy balsamic vinaigrette.
