Last Saturday, we celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary at home with some friends...
the pale lilac coloured orchids were specially sourced for the occasion from an orchid farm...
While waiting, guests nibbled on fresh cauliflower and aïoli spiced with piment d'Espelette.
First course was an easy choice - foie gras with some apple confit and a slice of kundang, a local fruit that has a rather tangy mango flavour.
Though carbonara is technically Italian, well, the guests loved it. French hams from the Comte région made it French!
Main course - on a bed of potato mash flavoured with truffle, orange-flavoured duck roasted with baie de genièvres (juniper berries), cherry tomato confit and oven-roasted courgettes.
Wedges of Comte cheese with orange slices and cress salad.
Another crowd favourite despite its Italian origin - Tiramisu...
