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!

Wonderful pictures et it looks so nice.
ReplyDeletetokyoastrogirl - the trouble with french cooking is that it may look healthy but it is hiding butter, eggs cream, etc !!
ReplyDeleteMam'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.
