A Christmas Extravaganza
Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Bethany in Entertaining, Misc, Recipes
This holiday season, the Chestnut, the Truffle and the Duck, will take center stage in a palatable act of sheer hedonism that is sure to send your taste buds screaming for more (Don LaFontaine voice).
I created the fancy-schmancy menu above, with the plan to deliver it to the family on christmas eve. The inspiration comes from the current season and the vibrant ingredients that crop up with it, as well as not being so excited by the traditional meal, this year. Sorry turkey 
I am so energized by the rainbow of flavors I can hardly contain myself! I thought maybe I might be able to offer you some inspiration, if the turkey or traditional menu is not turning you on either!
I have no recipes to share at this time but they will be posted after Christmas and if you really need the recipes to make it, then you could wait to make this menu for New Years, if you want.

Beth! Can I come over for the Christmas eve dinner?
*Love* the menu! No such extravagant Christmas dinners on this side… barely have a few Christian friends.

Oh goodness, that is just a feast to beat all others! I won’t be able to hack that but I can’t wait to see how you do it!
Thanks so much for the kind sentiments!
By the way, you’re in MA right? Unfortunately I don’t have any invites there… But I’d love to eventually meet you someday

OH WOW. I actually just drifted off into a foodie dream-world of foie gras and truffles…. Your menu looks phenomenal. Good luck getting it together, and I cannot WAIT to see pics/recipes for the finished products!! Particularly the chestnut soup with lavender oil….an intriguing combination if ever there was one…..
