The first time we served this butternut squash soup, 20% of the guests in attendance asked for the recipe. The second time, one of the guests hunted down the chef in search of the recipe!
img_0987-389x400
With a beautiful presentation, it makes for a very impressive first course. Foodies can go all out, serving the soup in an acorn squash bowl with toasted coconut, candied pecans, and maple crème on top. Maybe you’re not exactly the type to toast shredded coconut? Just skip the toppings, spoon it into a bowl and chow down! We’d love to hear how it goes.

Winterthur Butternut Squash Soup with Curry, Coconut, and Pecans

Ingredients:
• 2 large butternut squash or 4 lbs. peeled & cubed butternut squash
• 2 medium onions
• 3 cloves garlic (optional)
• 3 Tbsp. butter or vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt plus more to taste
• 8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 Tbsp. curry powder
• 12 oz. coconut milk

Topping Ingredients
• 8 oz. bag of shaved coconut
• candied or glazed pecans
• 1 c. sour cream
• 1/4 c. pure maple syrup
• 3 acorn squash at least 5” in diameter (choose squash that will sit flat on the stem side and the bottom)

Preparation:
Toppings and acorn squash bowls should be made in advance.

Toasted Coconut
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spread shaved coconut evenly on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in the oven on the center rack.
3. Bake for 5 minutes at a time, stirring coconut to ensure even toasting between the baking sequences. Baking time varies depending on the accuracy of your oven temperature, and how thinly the coconut is laid out over the baking sheet. Note: Watch carefully during the final minutes. The coconut will turn color very quickly.
4. After toasting, let cool and store in an airtight container.

Maple Crème
1. Combine sour cream and maple syrup in a medium bowl.
2. Cover bowl and refrigerate.

Acorn Squash Soup Bowl
1. Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Cut acorn squash across the center and scoop out seeds and loose fiber.
2. Place squash cut side down on a cookie sheet. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes to soften. Set aside.

Soup
1. Halve, seed, peel, and cube the butternut squash. Set aside.
2. Halve, peel, and chop the onion. Mince the garlic, if you like.
3. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter or oil and the chopped onion. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the squash and the broth. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the squash is very tender, about 20 minutes.
6. Transfer small batches to a blender. Hold a kitchen towel over the top (to prevent burns) and whirl until completely and utterly smooth, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
7. Return the soup to the pot and add more salt to taste.
8. Finish with Curry Powder and Coconut Milk.
9. Place each halved acorn squash in a bowl, top with toasted coconut.
10. Crush the candied pecans, placing them over the toasted coconut.
11. Put a few tablespoons of the maple crème in a zipper bag, snip the corner, and drizzle over the top of the soup.

Introducing… Jen

Hello everyone!

Over the next few posts, I’d like to introduce some of the fantastic folks who make our events so… well… fantastic!

I’ll start with myself. My name is Jen Lamb. I am the new Catering Sales Manager at Restaurant Associates at Winterthur Museum & Country Estate.

I have worked meetings, special events, and concerts at locations throughout North America for nearly 15 years. I have had the pleasure of working with musicians and actors like Jimmy Smits, Don Johnson, Jesse Bradford, Boyz II Men, Alan Jackson, Everclear, Soul Asylum, Kracker, and Taylor Swift. Do these people remember me? Not likely! I was the short brunette escorting them from place to place, taking photos, checking on guests and VIP’s, and generally behind the scenes.

Art Alexakis from Everclear and me after a lakeside summer concert in Missouri.

Art Alexakis from Everclear and me after a lakeside summer concert in Missouri.

I am married with two kids (13 and 10, both girls, lots of drama) and a dog (5, a rescued pit-lab mix, very loving, often forgets he’s not a lapdog). The family has always wished I could find the work I love closer to home. Something didn’t require a plane ticket or a two-hour commute. As a Delaware native and resident, I am very excited to be working in my home state!

I started with Winterthur in late April and spent my first “Winterthur weekend” in training at Restaurant Associates headquarters in NYC. My first impression of RA was, “Wow!” Angela, Nina, Jeanine, Andrew, thank you for everything you did that first weekend and beyond to help me jump right in!

Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working with more than 15 families on their wedding days, met with countless others in preparation for their upcoming weddings at Winterthur, and talked to about a billion more about trusting us with their weddings for 2012 and 2013. Recently, the mother of one of our brides asked me if I would be here on the day her daughter gets married. My response? ”I haven’t NOT worked a wedding since I started. It’s too much fun!” (Yes, I used a double negative. My high school Advanced English professor would be so ashamed.)

In case you’re wondering the same thing, a manager is onsite for all events. I do realize that at some point, I will need to take a vacation. However, I’m enjoying myself far too much to stay away. Maybe in January!

Good afternoon all. This February while we are closed I am trying to get out in the world and see our vendors on their turf and talk and learn whats new for the coming season. This week I saw eventions productions (lighting gurus) and caught up with Mary Reugg from Brides Mag or brides.com.

Lighting - George and Rian told me lighting is hotter then ever. As more and more brides and grooms go to more and more weddings you are noticing a lot more lighting. You might not notice if you don’t have lighting but you always notice when you do - and in a very good way. Rian and George are working on a package specific to the Visitor Center. We all just love what the lighting adds to the space.

Mary and I have lunch at the super cute and chic Pizza by Elizabeth’s on route 52. The have a great area in the back that is private and can host private parties - perfect for a rehearsal dinner or shower FYI.

Mary and I are loving the new issue of Brides - the colors-the quick read articles. I specifically love the outstanding wedding cakes on page 230 - I personally love the varigated blue one in the top left corner- what great new ideas. I also love the stationary helpful hints. So many people ask my opinion on invites and while I am flattered, I know nothing about them! This is a great article that shows some sites and invites that go with them- not overly theme-y yet very cool. Check it out if you have not already!

End of the year thank you

It seems to happen at this time of year where you thank everyone that helped you and made your year special and think about the ones who are going to be a part of your life this coming year.

We had such a great group of brides and grooms this past year. A special thanks to all of you who have posted such great comments and reviews for us on the blog, the website, and especially on The Knot and Brides.Com. I think we may have something fun to announce from one of those sites in a month but I don’t want to get ahead of myself.

Thank you to the great vendors we have worked with this year. We are so fortunate to work with so many great vendors and we are thrilled that we have added some new ones onto our list that all of the brides may take advantage of. I am going to spotlight more of the vendors in a week or so.

Looking forward to next year. If you are reading this and you are getting married here in 2011 and you do not have a meeting scheduled with me to start planning - please contact me.

In the meantime- Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

I finally got my hands on some of the amazing photos from Laura Novak from the July 23rd Lewis wedding here. This wedding was amazing in no small part due to Melissa Paul and her team from Evantine. Lighting with Eventions of course and we had Casey and the dreamtime band from EBE - they had the guests up and out of their seats all night long.

This was the first wedding using the conservatory and look at what Melissa did with the Gallery - wow- I think pictures are better then my words any day….

Wanted to share - in the Fall/Winter 2010 Knot magazine Winterthur is named as one of the 10 most talked about wedding locations- check out page 30! Although you don’t have to be a member here if you host your reception all at the Visitor Center Pavilion - but hey, slightly incorrect press is better then no press right?

And since you already have that magazine in your hand flip to page 148 to read about Ashlee and Jons wedding here on the estate under a huge tent along Clenny Run - truly magnificent but then again, we were working with Eclatante Events!

Check the blog next week - I just got a disk of some amazing shots from the Lewis wedding this past July where we ised the conservatory for the first time. I am always so in awe of Laura Novak and her team - the photos are simply the best!

Defining Different

I knew from the moment that I met Eva and Kevin their wedding was going to be just a little bit different in all the right ways. Such special touches included…

The bridesmaids carried lanterns instead of flowers which shone beautifully as the sun set

We used the pool for the ceremony but moved into the Gallery for cocktail hour - Eva works at a museum (or the museum) in NYC and all of her guests were enthralled with the sites at Winterthur. We then escorted guests via shuttle to the VC for the dinner and dancing portion of the evening

Eva’s dad took the mic from the DJ - pre-planned of course - and he did the bridal announcements - including Eva and Kevin coming in first so they could watch their friends and families

The cake was accented with fall fruit - how simple and beautiful, and the motif was carried out in the wonderfully simple centerpieces that the Winterthur Floral team created.

Great pics shown from Joel Plotkin- we love Joel - he just makes our life so relaxing and allows me to focus on all of the other important details- look at some of the shots he sent me- thanks Joel!

I think everyone had a great time and got some great ideas for their own weddings. I do think this is the last one we are going to be able to do in this format. I am now considering one day a month, changing every month, where we just taste food, and the couples can pick one to go to. If you have any thoughts on this please let me know as I mull it over!
Thanks again for everyone that helped make this such a spectacular evening for us!

Good evening everyone! Wow - last night was a lot of fun. I am sitting here reading emails from people who attended last night - both brides and their families and our great vendors, all saying what a great vibe there was in the air.

Guests were checked in by my wonderful bridal attendants, Jessica, Jessica, and Zanthea. Michael Hunter and his fellow musicians gave us some great background music. Guests mingled in the lobby while sipping apple cider cranberry spritzers and trying 10 of our fabulous hors d’oeuvres, including my personal favorite, the lobster and brie burrito. We also set up the bruschetta station - yum! Special Occasions did the great linens and the Winterthur Floral Team did a great job on all of the florals in the front. Dave Williams of DVideography was able to showcase some of his marvelous work as well.

After “cocktail” hour, guests slipped into the main room and were greeted with an amazing room and so much to see. Steve Croce was spinning some tunes, Brian Toner with Eventions had some great lighting, and we had both of our cake vendors - Kimberly Withers and Liz Marden.

And of course there was more food if I am going to call this a tasting ,right? Salads, salads, and more salads. 5 great entrees and 5 featured items off of our fun stations. I have a vegetarian couple getting married here and the chef whipped up 2 great options for them to try as well. Everyone got to try so much food and we should have gotten everyone up and dancing to burn some calories before Thanksgiving.

And don’t forget - this was our first one. Shoot me an email or respond to this post to let me know your thoughts and feedback. Have a great holiday everyone!

2/26/09 - New addition to the estate - 1927 Rolls Royce Phantom I!!

Good afternoon everyone! There is some exciting news on the Winterthur estate today - the museum has received the amazing gift of this car from the Beals estate. This Rolls-Royce adds a new dimension to our visitor’s experience as we interpret this era of Winterthur as an American country estate. It truly represents the luxury vehicles that the guests of Henry Francis and Ruth Wales duPont traveled in when visiting Winterthur in the early 1930’s. Other owners of a Phantom I Rolls-Royce include such names as JP Morgan, Vanderbilt, Goodyear, Rockefeller, and of course, various duPonts!

Want to know why I am letting you know all of this information?

I am trying to find out from all of you how many of you would be interested in having the Rolls-Royce outside of your wedding venue here at Winterthur to enhance your day? Imagine your guests pulling up and seeing the Rolls-Royce in front of the Visitor Center or outside of the Reflecting Pool or Gallery. It is such the perfect addition to the ambiance of your wedding. And think about what the pictures next to it and inside of it could look like!

The car would be moved from its designated location by one of our specially trained drivers and would be positioned next to your ceremony or reception area before and after (weather and light dependant). We are thinking the charge would be approximately $500 for this service. What do you think ? Respond to me and let me know your thoughts and ideas and help me with this fantastic new feature we are so lucky to have!

Evening everyone - how great is this mild weather - I am so ready for Spring - how about you?

I am so excited to let everyone know that we are unveiling a “new’ space - the Period Room Suite or the Wing Rooms. This is a collection of rooms in the main museum including Charleston Dining Room, Bowers Parlor, and the Queen Anne Parlor and each room represents architecture from the East Coast. You and your guests would take a shuttle from the Visitor Center and enter through the gran McIntyre Entrance. This space adds the wow factor for your next event.

What else is great is there are no time restrictions on this space so you can use it for an intimate wedding, bridal shower, anniversary brunch, etc and you have the place all to yourselves.

We had a photographer here in November - we just sent some pictures over the Archer Group to post on our website so that you may get an idea of just how amazing this site really is. Look for them in a day or so! And if you think you have the perfect event for the space - call or email us - we would love to here from you!

Hi Everyone!

It looks so amazing outside my window right now - a light snow - I love Winterthur in the winter - it is such a peaceful retreat! Rachel and I wanted to chare some exciting news with you - run out right now and buy the Spring Summer 2009 issue of Brides Philadelphia - we are all over it!

On the contents page is a picture of the great staircase coming from the back of the home to the pool. Inside - they scooped up Laura Novak’s fabulous pictures of one of our favorite wedding couples - Chris and Camille (see our blog from August). They have a real wedding spread on pages 116 - 118. And check out our newest ad. We changed some pictures and the colors and I love it - page 205. Let me know your thoughts as well.

True to trend - also in the magazine is a story about signature cocktails with some pictures and recipes. Check out our blog from last week about the same topic.

And I am working on new wedding packages with some new day time availability and hors d’oeuvres receptions. Brides talks about those as well and I have read them and added some notes to my homework.

Finally - wondering why I have not blogged from my sisters wedding - I just have not caught back up yet in order to write it and due all of the vendors justice. It was so wonderful (doesn’t everyone say that) and I want to share some tips and tell you about the vendors that I am totally indebted to. Look for that one soon (I promise). Hope everyone is well. Have a great weekend - Rachel and I have about 15 wedding tours in the next few days for prospective brides and grooms so we are going to try to keep warm and make them love Winterthur as much as we do!

First and foremost everyone here at Winterthur Museum and Restaurant Associates wishes all of you a safe and prosperous New Year! Rachel and I are ringing it in with high style and BLING this evening with a beautiful wedding here at the Visitor Center.  This wedding is a real treat as there as just so many creative ideas that I can not wait to share with you. And a reminder to those of you who are reading for the first time - click on the highlighted words to see pictures!!

Tonight’s theme - definitely BLING! There are tiny sparkly touches everywhere you look to create this one of a kind wedding. Lets start with what may be my favorite thing tonight - the cake. Almond cake with almond buttercream - but look at it. The cake topper and the cake jewelry (something new to me) work in perfect harmony to create this stunning masterpiece. Walker Cake, Walker Cake 2

Our couple really embraced the champagne idea for tonight as ell. I love this idea - they have silver markers and are asking their guests to write remarks on the bottles. They will, in turn, open a different bottle every month on their anniversary and get to read their friends and family good wishes. Walker Champagne Table

 So how about the square tables? We rented these tables for the couple - it certainly gives a different look. I had somebody just remark that it makes it look so special. With these particular tables we can seat up to 12 people so fewer tables but they do take up just about as much space as a few more smaller ones. I think they look really great and give a lot of room to the guests. Walker Room, Walker Tables

The sweetheart tables is so decked out - I love it. It always feels so sad when people don’t think about their own table or skimp their. Set the tone - you are the special couple and your tables should showcase that special something. Walker Sweetheart

 Danielle has wanted a candy table for her guests from the first time we started talking. She saw a specific picture of the candy arranged like a rainbow and we have duplicated it here for her. How cozy in front of the Christmas trees. Wakler Candy Table

We are unveiling one of our new stations this evening - the Caribbean one. Yes - I worked on it with the chef becuase of my love of that food. Red Snapper with Banana Jam - yum! Bay Scallop Ceviche with Citrus and Kiwi - Divine!

We have a small break now while Rachel and I gear up with tastings and new inquiries for the Spring season. We have a lot of great topics lined up for you in the next few weeks (including my own sisters wedding next Saturday!) so please keep checking us out each week. If you have ideas you would like us to write about please email us at this link. once again - happy New Years and we look forward to working with so many of you in 2009!

Good afternoon everyone!

Busy day in the office today here at Winterthur- we have just finished revising our catering wedding packages and I just sent them to be posted on the website for everyone. Jason has worked on some great new food items and we listed some stationary food ideas as well as some ideas for signature cocktails. I hope everyone likes them as much as we do.

We are still working on a package for a heavy hors d’oeuvres reception for the partiers out there that want to be mixing and mingling at their wedding. We are also working on a brand new idea - day time brunch weddings!! I am ironing out the particulars and hope to have that information listed by next week.

Rachel and I have had such a great time working with everyone this past year and we are really looking forward to the new bonds and families we will work with in 2009. We wish you all a safe and happy holiday with your families!!
