GOURMET CLUB OF SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

April 23, 2010

Recipes to come!
Since this is our sophomore season of Gourmet Club, Team PatKat decided to take on a challenge far beyond our combined talents and experience. We wanted to create the ultimate fine dining experience by preparing recipes from the world's finest chefs. Each chef we spotlighted studied, trained, and/or worked in France. So naturally our focus turned to Haute Cuisine. Haute Cuisine (French: "high cooking") is characterized by elaborate preparations and presentations served in small and numerous courses. Merci!!! to our adventurous guests who so bravely tasted escargot and caviar for the first time. And a honorable mention to Amy who may have post-traumatic dinner disorder after eating a few of our dishes. Thanks ladies, we love you!Our invitations were printed on linen napkins folded into the shape of a bishop's hat (not a LDS bishop mind you :-) and hand delivered on a silver platter.
A special Thanks to our lovely, eager, and attentive servers!

Not on the menu, our Amuse Bouche "A gift from the chef" was Escargot sauted in garlic and butter















































Good friends and good food... that's what it's all about!
