French Cooking Class Reunion

= Good Food, Good Wine, Good Time




All the other pupils in my French Country Cooking Class, which only ended a couple of weeks ago, at Tante Marie's in San Francisco cajoled me into hosting a pot luck reunion. I started by taking photos, but as the evening descended into much merriment fuelled by a few bottles of wine, I guess I stopped snapping somewhere along the line. So I must apologize to my new friends for not including shots of all the delicious things that followed these appetizers, like beef bourginon, potato gratin, Parisienne gnocchi, clafoutis and homemade strawberry-mint ice cream. Believe me, everything was delicious. Sante!

    Everything looks so fresh and delicious...and healthy too. I love nibbling on many different things like this, especially during the summer. Thanks for the lovely photos.

    Beautifully presented.

    What's the green mousse that's so beautifully decorated in the first picture?

    I think I may have to sign up for classes!

    tokyoastrogirl - the trouble with french cooking is that it may look healthy but it is hiding butter, eggs cream, etc !!

    Mam'zelle jane - it was good - i was lucky to have all those people in the house helping with the cooking.

    Catherine - it ia a "Pain de Petits Pois Frais a la Creme de cives" which is aka terrine of fresh green peas with chive cream sauce. Basically is is pureed peas, bechamel with egg yolks and whipped egg whites cooked in a bain marie. It was good and looks so pretty!

    mum - and you said you dont want to eat anything in New York?????

    Robyn - my guests actually left the ice cream in my freezer, if only I could bring some to NY for you but I think it would melt.

    WMM - thank you - they are a bit blurry - when I am hosting a soiree its hard to be photographer at the same time.

    Mrs D and Cookie - I can see this becoming the latest food bloggers craze, no?

    ooishigal & helen - thank you - I ws very lucky to have such a great bunch of people in my cooking class.
