We had some visiting friends from afar, across the straits and the theme was "autumn". So I whipped up an autumn-inspired menu...
Table set with tiny pumpkins and champagne-coloured roses...
A bloc of foie gras with pâté to start things (goes well with the champagne)...
Pumpkin and roasted bell pepper soup to start the dining experience...a dollop of crème fraîche and a pinch of piment d'Espelette made it French...
Poached egg scented with truffle oil, with crispy bacon and Parmiggiano reggiano chips, served with a swirl of Balsamic reduction and salade of roquette.
Pan-seared butter fish on a puree of brocoli, served with oven-roasted yellow bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.
After some simple salade and a serving of Morbier, dessert was fruit cake with orange syrup, topped with orange-scented Chantilly cream, and an infusion to end it all.
