Bastille Day Dinner

Join me to celebrate LIBERTÉ, ÉGALITÉ, AND FRATERNITÉwith a stylish French feast.

The celebration begins with amuses-bouches, lovely little bites to whet the appetite: fresh Radishes with Spiced Seeds, the superlative cheese dip called Cervelle de Canut, and traditional Panisse, chickpea flour fritters. Coquille St-Jacques make an elegant first course, and you won’t believe how easily the dish comes together! We’ll serve Slow-Roasted Duck Legs with summery grill-charred Peaches and Green Beans. And for the grand finale? Gâteau Paris-Brest is a show-off French dessert of the very best kind, with praline pastry creme in a ring of pâte à choux to evoke the bicycle wheels of the famous race for which it is named.

After the cooking concludes, we will share supper around the table, with selected wines and non-alcoholic beverages, raising our glasses to new cooking skills and new cooking friends. Vive la France!
