If you are feeling the January glooms, your waistband is a bit tight, or you're in need of a culinary adventure --Chef Antonio Moreno has something delicious for what ails you on his SpaLuce menu (www.spaluce.com, 1755 North Highland Ave., Hollywood, 323-491-1376).
The very creative Grilled Shrimp Martini, lightly spiced grilled shrimp served in a martini glass atop yellow gazpacho salsa (pictured above) is just one of the colorful and enticing entrees that await you, each one amazingly under 300 calories.
Located on the 5th floor of the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel at Hollywood & Highland, Spa Luce is a comforting womb-like sanctuary offering a full array of spa services, accented by the special SpaLuce Cuisine menu served either poolside at your leisure before or after your services, or down one flight on the fourth floor at Twist Restaurant.
Seared sushi grade Ahi Spring Roll accented by soy honey & lime vinaigrette, Poached Pear Salad with basil emulsion, Twin Melon Soup and Quinoa Salad atop a portobello mushroom cap are all shining examples of how fresh seasonal foods in the hands of an expert chef can not only satisfy hunger but also satisfy the soul. The color and presentation of each spa dish delights the eye and the intensely fresh flavors marry well.
You don't need to enjoy the services of Spa Luce to enjoy its SpaLuce Cuisine - simply mention that you want the Spa menu when making your reservations.
Until our next food find....may all your food finds be fabulous!
