New Years Eve- Cocktails and Apéros
New Years Eve- Cocktails and Apéros
Let's make it festive, even under COVID restrictions. A delightful champagne cocktail and a couple of delicious bites!
January 6th, the 12th day of Christmas, and throughout the month of January, the French gather with family and friends to share a Galette de Roi, or Kings Cake. There are two different versions- the North of France favors a puff pastry galette filled with pastry cream, and in the South of France they make theirs with a brioche ring studded with candied fruits. We will be making the puff pastry galette, with a the prescribed "feve" tucked inside!
Cuisine Minceur! It's January, and time to adopt some new, healthier eating options, so we will focus on some techniques and recipes inspired by chef Michel Guérard to lighten up your meals but keep them very tasty and very French! This class will feature recipes for Mushroom Tart to start, Steamed Halibut en Papillote and Chocolate Soufflé! Just over 600 calories!
These simple eggs are baked in ramekins with a variety of flavorings. Served as a starter course, they are easy to assemble ahead of time and pop in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
Drawing inspiration from chef Michel Guérard's techniques and recipes, it's will be fun to construct a fabulous meal full of flavor that is light on calories. A Warm Salad of Orange Scented Scallops and Mache, Duck Breasts with Spinach and Pear Quinelles and a Mushroom and Pepper Sauce, Rolled Apple Crepes with Vanilla Mousse- 585 calories! Now, that's the way to start the New Year
We're taking a little field trip to visit my friend Luke, get a glimpse of his new house just outside Nerac, and enjoy one of his favorite things to eat- Raclette! Melted cheese served with creamy potatoes, crispy baguettes, and charcuterie. For information on how to join in visit the Chez Moe membership information page. .
