This week RecipeHouse's kitchen was taken over by one of the must talked about Houston food destinations: Uchi. True to form, the Uchi team delivered meticulously crafted and artfully presented culinary delights that exhibited the kitchen's creativity and love of what they do.
Unsurprisingly, fresh seafood played a prominent role in the evening...
Hamachi, spinach, dill, garlic
... and understated veggies highlight fresh flavors of the season...
Asparagus, potato, mushroom, tomato
... a dessert almost too pretty to eat...
Grape, curry, granola
... but the most intriguing dish was the unexpected jet black silkie chicken (a nod to Uchi's Asian influence), leg presented with foot and all, a rare treat oddly reminiscent of something you might imagine fitting for a witch's cauldron.

Chef Surprise occurs on the first Monday of every month at RecipeHouse in the Museum District and features an intimate evening with some of Houston's finest chefs, benefiting Recipe for Success Foundation. For more information and to reserve seats, click here.
