Why should we have a night highlighting “organic” wines?

It’s not the most original dessert out there, but when it’s well done (fruit’s not too sweetened, crumble is cooked through [...]
We’re aware that this is a French restaurant!! But we actually love to cook everything, and “Manger! Boire!” night is such a great way for us to share the other things that we know, besides French cuisine and pastry! Living in London and studying pastry at Le Cordon Bleu in the mid 90′s, I somehow [...]
It may sound like we’re saying Beef, but it’s actually vegetarian Beet “Tartare,” a delicious salad or spread — fresh beets that have been cooked & then seasoned like a traditional “Steak Tartare” — that we’ve been getting lots of recipe requests for.
