Dinner With Friends: A Curated Dining Experience With Kieran & Karen Gorman

What happens when a chef and an interior designer husband-and-wife team come together to create a dining experience like no other? You are served a cozy dinner in a beautiful space with thoughtful dishes. 

Dinner with Friends is the brainchild of Kieran (chef) and Karen (designer) Gorman, a dining experience held in the comfort of their stunning Bridgehampton abode. 

This decadent dining experience is meant to be shared with friends. The couple hosts the intimate dinner celebrations at their impeccably designed home, complete with marvelous food and wine. Conversation and laughter will flow as Karen and Kieran handle the rest of the evening, carefully looking after each subtle detail.

While you relax and catch up with friends, or make new friends, you’ll be served a meal prepared by Kieran in the adjacent kitchen. The dinners are curated to appeal to a variety of palates, utilizing local ingredients. While sample menus includes four courses with wine tastings, the duo will suggest options to suit a variety of budgets or tastes.

Chef Kieran’s light and flaky Parmesan cheese puffs are the perfect way to begin the meal as a welcoming appetizer. Sample menu items include burrata with hazelnuts, arugula, and roasted prosciutto salad, or the roasted fennel with goat cheese and premium Balsamic vinegar as the first course.

The family-style main course, which lends itself nicely to the experience, could include grilled swordfish with fresh lemon and tomato, lemon duck breast with roasted shallots, or a grilled NY strip steak with homemade chimichurri sauce. To end the meal, a torta caprese — flourless chocolate cake with fresh whipped cream and homemade raspberry coulis or a grilled fresh pineapple with homemade whipped cream and toasted almonds.
