During last years tour de France I was inspired to purchase Gabriel Gaté's 'Taste Le Tour' cook book which showcases special dishes from the many regions of France. This year I have been inspired to actually cook something out of it.
So much so, that this Saturday night I have invited four of our closest friends over for a French themed dinner party in honour of Le Tour.
I would say that I am a pretty good cook, but I am certainly no master chef and tackling French cooking is going to be a major challenge but I am excited.
The kids and I have made some mini French flags to hang over the table and I have typed up my swish little individual menus.
The plan is for a five course gastronomical exploration of food that the French are famous for. Starting with a cheese plate and finishing with coffee and macaroons. And of course a little wine matching for the main courses.
And what better way to finish of the night than watching Stage 14 of the Tour de France cheering on the Aussies.
So cheers to me, and keep everything crossed it is a success (as it could go horribly wrong!)
