Bouchées in French means bites. This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated an hour before your guest arrive. It is usually served as an appetizer, however you could also serve it as a side dish, or a salad without using the skewers. Either way, it's a great refreshing summer dish. Chef Wecker

Shish means “skewer” in Arabic. Shish kebab is a typical Arabic preparation in which the meat (excluding pork) is marinated with spices and then skewered to be cooked on a spit or on the embers. As with many traditional dishes, each region and even family will have their own spin. The secret to a delicious shish kebab is always in the marinade. Chef Alba
You absolutely will love the taste of petite lamb chops; they can stand on their own with just salt and pepper then pan seared in olive oil.

Simple, yet looks so sophisticated. Chef Wecker
