Le Menu Regional: Auvergne

Today we wined and dined on the following:

Soufflé de pomme de terre à la tomme fraîche et huile de truffe

Crème de potiron, cèpe set pavot bleu

See those grill marks on those cèpes? Simple right? Well no. Amanda had to heat up these metal sticks hot enough to make those marks in the mushrooms. The sticks kept falling into the burner, and she kept having trouble getting the right colorization. She got so stressed out marking these mushrooms that it resulted in her saying that she hated life. HAHAHAHA Ah, the things we go through for presentation.

Chou farci - this was filled with delicious meat

Petit salé aux lentilles et aligot
. Bravo to Jacob doing this dish all by himself. The meat fell off the bones, and the lentilles were cooked perfectly.

Tartes sablées aux marrons, coulis de verveine. Sorbet à la verveine. Me and Julie worked on this dessert. What a bitch it was drying those lentilles out.
