We've had some new things to post but little time to do it. Here's last night's menu, a product of yesterday's cooking class, with wines. It was prompted by two specific requests, one about smoking and one about chocolate. The dishes grew from there. We have more from earlier in the week that we hope get to later today, including a wonderful langoustine menu from the cooking class on Saturday. The classes were a wonderfule learning experience for us, and hopefully our guest chefs enjoyed them as well!
