Chef Ana's Perspective ## Chef's Notes This meal preparation prioritizes a diverse range of proteins, ensuring a satisfying and balanced offering for my clients. **Read the full notes** I focused on creating vibrant, fresh sides with a mix of textures and flavors, from the hearty farro to the bright fennel and orange salad. Each dish is prepared with attention to detail, like the perfectly roasted chicken and the tender, herb-crusted steak, reflecting my commitment to quality and taste.
