I thought some of you might enjoy reading the menu recipes for the inaugural luncheon; it's interesting. The Cinnamon Apple Sponge Cake sounds especially good!

I had seen this earlier - the duck course sure looks tasty.

All that for lunch? I can't even imagine getting past that rich seafood stew! Does sound good though, especially the duck.

Man, those recipes sound really great. I'd love to try the seafood stew. I must have seafood on the brain lately.

We saw this the other day and commented on it. The duck and pheasant really caught my eye. I did wonder about two things though. When I think "winter vegetables",I don't think of asparagus and yellow beans.

I think you're right Lorraine. Isn't asparagus a Spring/early summer veggie?

[Lorraine]

That's what we were thinking. The other thing we debated was the dessert. Don't get me wrong, it sounds fabulous, and I would love to make it. But,using brioche and calling it a sponge cake? I don't know. We had a great time reading the menu / recipes, and pulling them apart. I would love to see the dinner menus from the various venues.

I'm loving that seafood stew myself! Thanks for sharing Sophia.

Thanks, Daphne. Let us know if you fix the stew. Looks a little 'intensive' to me, but I think you're probably up to it.
