Wanna make a printout of a typical shabbus menu to put at everyone's setting on shabbus. But want it to sound sophisticated and fancy.
Any help would be appreciated.
(Salmon w gefilta, chicken soup, eggs, chulent)

You mean like this-

Modern Ancient fish
Parcels of fresh salmon served wth traditional fish croquettes, served on a bed of lettuce with lemon and dill garnish

Fresh Hen
Roasted with garlic and paprika

Hens eggs
Blended with exquisite mayonnaise and garden onions

Clear chicken broth
Served with carrot and celery

Chulent (Mmm... That one is a little harder)
Traditional slow cooked beef with potatoes beans and barley cooked to perfection in a caramelized onion sauce

??????

I think you need to post the full menu, including any interesting ingredients.

Why are you doing this? In other words what is the occasion?

What kind of salmon are you serving?
How is the gefilte fish being served, in slices?
What salads, sides and mains are you serving?

Why, exactly, are you doing this? I'm sorry to say this, but it sounds rather phoney to me. Are you afraid people won't appreciate your cooking if you don't wrap it in fancy gift wrap?

IMHO you'd be better off working on an attractive presentation rather than a fancy menu card. People eat with their eyes. If it looks good, they'll want to eat it. If it doesn't look, they won't. End of story.

This is more fun than cooking and folding laundry, which is what I an supposed to be doing. I think its a fun idea for a family reunion, especially if you can somehow name it personal ("like Aunt Lily used to make", "San Diego Shashimi slices" if that's where you or your visiting guests are from).

Fri

Your choice of traditional cocktail gefilte fish balls or supreme salmon fillet served on a surini salad (what is that actually???) garnished with....(find out what) or with special garnishes

Individual oyster steaks braised to perfection in a special secret sauce (or find out what it is and put that) served on a bed of lightly sauteed string beans infused with garlic.

Crunchy Apple Cobbler

Tea coffee and mints

Daytime

Grilled teriyaki salmon fillet served with Neapolitan grilled vegetables doused in basil oil with a salad of micro greens

Liver Two Ways - traditional chopped and modern grilled

Egg salad as I said before

Traditional Israeli tomato and cucumber salad wth fresh garden herbs

Dessert
triple fruit ice cream in green apple , lychee and plum, with fresh fruit salad to match

Also I was thinking you could call the cholent "Pot au Feu". French always makes food sound better.

All of that should give you some ideas.

Have fun.
