With another visit to one of the Parisian temples of fine-dining: l'Epicure, the restaurant from the hotel Bristol, I got the chance to try a private banquet set up for a special occasion. After a quick tour of the kitchen, the remarkable Chef Eric Fréchon orchestrated a perfectly executed dinner in the now world-intangible-heritage french tradition! (not quite sure I have yet entirely grasped that concept yet but sure will it come clearer one day!).
Anyway, as usual the cooking was all comforting, refined, technical (that leek cooked in its own roasted skin was incredible!) and most importantly yummy.
