Where can I find more menus like this and the recipes for the items?
Lovely menu. Have you tried just searching for recipes for similar items? Forget about it being an
official 'head of state' dinner. I found a recipe for striped bass with lemon and white wine at
cooks.com which looks promising:
3 lb. stripe bass, cleaned with head removed 2 tbsp. lemon juice 3 oz. Chablis wine 3 oz.
Seltzer water
1/2 tsp. celery powder
2/8 tsp. black pepper Salt to taste 1 1/2 oz. corn oil
3/4 tsp. marjoram spice
4/2 tsp. garlic powder Preheat oven 375 degrees. Use pan large enough to hold fish and line it with
aluminum foil. Place fish on top of the foil and make a border around edges with the foil to
confine the fish. Place all the ingredients on top of the fish. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Remove and
serve. Makes 4-6 servings.
Beef filet is fairly common, as are a myriad of methods for smoking one. I would have to say patting
lots of freshly ground pepper into the filet prior to smoking would make a "Pepper Smoked Beef
Filet". Corn polenta is also very common, as are grilled mushrooms with summer vegetables.
Again, recipes abound; try not to limit yourself to looking for recipes for what they prepared for a
"State" dinner.
