I met Roxanne (Rox, as we call her) last year and we became friends instantly. This inspiring young lady runs a business, manages her store, exercises, cooks really well and prays–a lot. She is single too! I always tell people that the man she eventually marries is going to be one lucky lad. Her calm is infectious and being around her is always a blessed encounter. Her deep faith and passion she has for all she does is as wonderful as the food she cooked for us as we dined at her wine cellar, Artisan Cellar Door. She invited us for an evening of wagyu, which she cooked in different ways. They carry the wagyu brand Blackmore from Australia and supply to many establishments. You can also purchase choice cuts at Artisan Cellar Door.
Meet Roxanne of Artisan Cellar Door
meet rox
what started our with a healthy and simple salad…
and beef tataki on a bed of onion gravy
was followed by a healthy cooking method of steamed thinly sliced wagyu beef to be dipped in some roasted sesame sauce…
then came these deadly wagyu burgers, cooked to perfection, seasoned only with salt, pepper and caramelised onions…
i made mine deadlier by adding a splash of this premium quality olive oil and crumbled blue cheese
then ended up with deadliest of them all, grilled ribeye over garlic fried rice. some sliced olives were a nice touch…
dessert was this creamy matcha cheesecake (not baked by rox but quite good)
my dessert though was still this jindi blue cheese that was highly addicting paired with some sauterne dessert wine. beautiful combination
