Carrot-Orange Gazpacho
2 cups fresh organic carrot juice
1/2 cup fresh organic apple juice
1/2 cup fresh organic orange juice
Thin slices fresh carrot or apple, for garnish (optional)
We’ll be passing small sips of this refreshing cold soup in shot glasses as guests enter the Governors Ball. You can make it easily by buying the bottled fresh organic carrot, apple, and orange juices you’ll find in the refrigerated section of many health-conscious markets today. Or, if you have a countertop electric juice extractor, make the juices just before serving and chill the mixture by shaking it with ice in a cocktail shaker.
Combine the juices in a nonreactive pitcher or jar. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, until well chilled.
Meanwhile, put 16 shot glasses, about 2 ounces each, on a tray. Chill in the freezer.

Baked Macaroni And Cheese With Black Truffles
(recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck)
Yield: Serves 4
8 ounces elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3-1/2 cups milk
1/2 medium white onion
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch cayenne
3 tablespoons finely chopped black truffles
10 ounces sharp aged white cheddar, grated
3 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
2 drops black winter truffle oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup brioche bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Sliced fresh black truffles for garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook the macaroni to al dente (approximately 7 minutes). Strain and place on a lightly oiled sheet pan.
While the macaroni is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Continue to cook over low heat for 4 minutes stirring constantly. Add the milk, chopped truffles, onion and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove onion and bay leaf.
Turn off the heat and add 3/4 of the aged cheddar and all of the other cheeses. Season with salt and black pepper and fold in macaroni. Pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheddar.
Melt the butter in a sauté pan and toss bread crumbs and parsley to coat. Top the macaroni with bread crumb mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven let stand for about 5 minutes. Serve with fresh shaved black truffles.
Bacon-Wrapped Parmesan-Stuffed Dates
Makes 18
I love this easy appetizer’s combination of sweet, salty, nutty, meaty, and smoky flavors and smooth, creamy, and crispy textures—all wrapped up in just an intense bite or two. The effect works best when
you seek out ingredients of the highest quality. You’ll need a wooden toothpick to secure each stuffed and wrapped date for baking and serving. And let me add one more important word of advice: People will love these so much that you might want to plan on making multiple batches.
18 large dates, preferably Medjool, slit lengthwise and pitted
18 pieces good-quality Parmesan cheese, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano, each about 1 by 1/4 inch 6 slices good-quality smoked bacon, cut crosswise into thirds
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Insert a piece of Parmesan into each date. Then, wrap each date with 1 piece of bacon, securing it with a wooden toothpick.
Arrange the dates 1 inch apart in a shallow baking pan. Bake for 5 minutes. Then, using tongs, turn the dates over. Continue baking until the bacon is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes longer.
With the tongs, transfer the dates to paper towels to drain, carefully patting them dry with more paper towels. Serve immediately.
SMOKED SALMON PIZZA WITH CAVIAR
3/4 cup Pizza Dough
2 Tbsp. Chili and Garlic Oil
1/2 tsp. thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup
Dill Cream
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. thinly sliced smoked salmon
2 tsp. chopped fresh chives
2 Tbsp. Sevruga caviar, optional
Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough into an 8-inch circle, with the outer edge a little thicker than the inner circle. Brush the dough with the oil and arrange the onions over the pizza. Slide a pizza paddle or rimless baking sheet under the pizza and then slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. Bake until the crust is golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
With the pizza paddle or a large spatula, carefully remove the pizza from the oven and set it on a cutting board. Use a knife, an icing spatula, or the back of a spoon to spread the Dill Cream over the inner circle. Arrange the slices of salmon so that they cover the entire pizza, slightly overlapping the raised rim. Sprinkle the chopped chives over the salmon. Using a pizza cutter or a large sharp knife, cut the pizza into 4 or 6 slices. If you like, spoon a little caviar in the center of each slice. Serve immediately.
