A Christmas Extravaganza
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.
