We had our monthly Supper Club at our house this month and the theme was, "A Spring Evening in Paris" the menu included:
L'Apéritif
Champagne and Goat Cheese Tomato Tart
L'Entrée (Appetizer)
Cheese Soufflé (served with a green salad brought by Laurel)
Le Plat Principal (Main course)
Beef Bourguignon served on a bed of Buttered Egg Noodles
Le Dessert
Mousse au Chocolat and Chocolate Truffles
We met our guests at the door with a glass of champagne and a dish of green olives marinated in citrus infused olive oil (this was a totally easy recipe that tasted AMAZING)!
There are three couples in Supper Club, we all enjoy cooking and sampling fine foods! Here is the group enjoying champagne and the goat cheese and tomato tart.
Our table decor included black placemats and napkins, silver chargers, our yellow plates, white tulips and white pillar candles.
These were all new recipes for me and I will admit that I was a bit nervous because I had heard that souffles can be finicky and that mousse is hard to make light and airy--but luckily it all tasted great and looked like it was supposed to! I love being able to try new recipes and I really enjoy being pushed to step out of my culinary comfort zone. Many laughs were shared throughout the evening and the bottles of wine flowed as fluidly as the conversation. It was a great spring evening!
