Cuisiner

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to participate in a cooking workshop organized by Middlebury. The evening was filled with fine French cuisine, wonderful wine, and great conversation. To top it off the woman's apartment was on the 8th story of a building that looks over the Jardins de Luxembourg (my favorite park in Paris) with a panoramic view of the entire city: Eiffel Tower and Tour Montparnasse on one side and the Pantheon, Sarbonne, and the Seine on the other. Truly a once in lifetime dining experience.

Et voilà quelques photos de la soirée de belle cuisine.
