Our menu for the evening:
 
- Seafood Crepes with Sauce Parisienne- So delicious - we will make the crepes and then fill with a Shrimp/Scallop mixture tossed with our Sauce Parisienne a variation of a classic Veloute Sauce.
 
-Pan Seared Breast of Duck with Roasted Grapes and Gastrique- crispy seared duck breast - the roasted grapes and gastrique provide a perfect balance to the duck in this lovely main dish.
 
-Steamed Haricot Verte with Herb Butter- Make a compound butter to enhance the delicate steamed beans  -infused with herbs and shallots, this is a versatile concoction that can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerted to use with a variety of other goodies.
 
-Bittersweet Chocolate Souflee with Orange Sauce - this version shared by Jacque Pepin is super easy and provides the ultimate finish to our French themed feast.
