New year's buffet

What a joy to be invited for a delicious New year's buffet with all the good ingredients! To start champagne  of course, and my dear fiend Lenia (who is an excellent cook) had prepared grilled mini-toasts with ham & cheese, and homemade samosas with either hot goat cheese and honey or shrimps with mango. Sauce to go and fresh strawberries and rasberries. Yum! Have a hard time remembering all that we ate but, to start with lovely fresh oysters (direct from a who is an oyster farmer friend), smoked salmon with a creamy herb sauce and toast, small lobsters with aoli and small potatoes, goose liver with confit, cheese platter (Chaource, Mont d'Or, Roquefort, Chèvre, Epoisses, Soumatrain, Comté etc). For the sweet part a blend of small "petit fours" and a homemade yule log. Last but not least a Chablis Grand Cru Réhoboam (6 litres!), the rest is history ... Happy 2012 everyone!

  1. Det vattnas i munnen. Förstår att du har svårt med minnet efter 6 L Chablis...:)
