Back in September, they treated New York to a Fooding d'Amour.
Now back in the hexagon, for their Semaine du Fooding 2009 (8 days actually) they break all the rules with Les Incorrects from November 30 to December 7.
The event site is in French only so let me share a few highlights.
I am not sure if in Elle met du beurre partout ('She puts butter everywhere) they are seriously letting couples cover each other with Creme Brulee, Liquid Caramel with Sea Salt and other creations by cookbook author and TV personality, Trish Deseine, in her Spa Pur Beurre (Nov 30 to Dec 4 ).
With Petales de Cheval, horse meat gets a seat at the table, I remember in my native city of Lanester how there was a 'regular' butcher but also a Boucherie Chevaline. They invited Tonino Simbula the chef of Sardegna a tavola to share his horse meat carpaccio with the willing (Nov 30 to Dec 4).
In Le Baiser du Chef Masque, the caped crusaders of Parisian kitchens offer dishes they would not dream serving and you might not order in a regular setting. Each night a different chef will surprise 150 guests under the glass roof of Piscine Molitor (Nov 30 to Dec 4).
What about the liquid side, I almost forgot to mention Les mouches, la veuve et son amant or nice bubbly looks to mate with cheese for serious flirt, say Veuve Clicquot Brut Carte Jaune with Muenster…each day will see a different cheese pairing I believe. Will Cancoillotte be one of them? (Nov 30 to Dec 4, also at Piscine Molitor ).
All the events required at least a 24H Advance Reservation.
Any of these will sure be an experience for all the senses.
Enjoy if you can make it there.
