We at Hotel de-I did our research and found that our guest had a soft spot for things French, especially French Christmas celebrations. Although in her job as a high level manager for an international finance firm does get her to Paris, we thought that we would do our best.
We served up dish inspired by meals we have had in France. Starting with the French version of potato pancakes (for latkes makers this involves removing the onions and adding cheese) as a base, we added a layer of smoked salmon and topped it with eggs scrambled with basil. On the side was a French country classic, puree of celery root. Our wine was a 2000 white burgundy that was sadly a tad disappointing. Based on the little moan like sounds during the eating, I think we were on target.
