Channel the Norman spirit with a splendid supper influenced by this renowned culinary mecca. Keep hors d’oeuvres fuss-free by crafting a rustic cheese board peppered with assorted crackers and fresh fruit.
A classic French delicacy, Coquilles St. Jacques, gets a subtle Southern twist with the addition of plump shrimp. The soup du jour is a velvety blend of leek and potato, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with thyme.
A tribute to Normandy’s centuries-old tradition of growing apples and making cider, apple cider-braised rainbow carrots make a delightful accoutrement to roasted Cornish hens doused in a creamy mushroom sauce.
Two fitting treats round out the splendid soirée: Bourbon Cider and Tarte Tatin topped with Apple Brandy Whipped Cream.
