Italian Cuisine
What would World Gardens Café be without Italian cuisine? Italians are warm, welcoming people who love to relax, celebrate and socialize with family and friends. Celebration and relaxation usually take place around the table either at home or in a restaurant, where they can enjoy the traditions of the Italian cuisine. Extreme simplicity characterizes Italian cuisine, with many dishes having only four to eight ingredients. Chef Ravi has captured this regional diversity and abundance of difference in taste found only in fine authentic Italian dining.
Garlic Portobello With Turkey
Portobello mushrooms have the same light earthy taste as the button mushrooms found in most dishes but carry a more meaty texture. Chef Ravi first prepares the turkey by pan cooking it while ladling in a sauce made from red and sherry wine, sun dried tomatoes, thyme and bell peppers to ensure the turkey is soft and flavorful. He then slivers the thick mushrooms and sautés them in garlic and grape seed oil and adds them to the turkey meat.

Authentic Turkey Meat Balls
While the gluten-free meatballs oven-simmer in the juices of Chef Ravi’s rustic chicken stock and a ladle of merlot, the turkey meat absorbs the liquids so the texture remains soft and moist. Then they finish cooking in his homemade marinara sauce. As these tender meatballs break apart at the touch of your fork, each bite allows you to taste the thyme, rosemary and the textural surprise with homemade sun-dried tomatoes in every bite. Then, topping the meatballs with the remaining marinara aromatically presents the tomato, basil, parsley, sweet roasted garlic as well as a hint of the wine to complete the dish.
