All the food mentioned along the way is real--either something I've eaten or something I've cooked. If I could find a recipe online, I had it open while I was writing.






How to Poach An Egg (youtube link. One of about 200 versions. Who knew so many people want to teach you how to poach an egg? I would have gone with Gordon Ramsey's version, except it ended up in some soup.)


Maine Lobster Pancakes with Pea Shoot Salad and a Ginger-Carrot Emulsion**
Sauteed Cod with Codcakes and Parsley Oil**
Lambchops With Summer Beans and Rosemary**
Strawberry and Champagne Terrine**

Coq au Vin
Tarte Tatin

Cassoulet de Canard (there's a link to a recipe at the beginning of the article.)
Lemon Sorbet

Baked Fresh Ham with Bread Stuffing

Caramel Corn

Frogmore-esque Stew
Braised Beef Short Ribs
Chocolate Cream Pie (alas, not the one I wanted to use, but that one's a trade secret or something…)

Red Velvet Peppermint Cake
Croquembouche, as assembled by a delightful Brit (youtube)
Buche de Noel (Jensen would not approve--the mushrooms are made of marzipan instead of meringue, but Jared would probably talk him down.)
Praline Cheesecake


**The French Laundry At Home is a gorgeous book, but if you *ever* make anything successfully from it, feel free to come brag about it to me. =)
