Christmas Day Menu

On Christmas Day I had to cook only for four, except for the dessert, a delicious ice-cream cake.
The menu consisted of:

Pâté brulée with toasted brioche >>
•
Saffron cream soup with crayfish >>
•
Filet de Porc coated with syrup >>
Red cabbage with Tutti Frutti >>
Stuffed potatoes >>
Harricots verts with Jamón serrano >>
•
Surprise Ice-cream Cake

Or in Dutch:

My friend, his parents and I have enjoyed all the courses.
Unfortunately, I was so busy serving that I forgot to take pictures of the dishes!
You can watch pictures and read the recepies (in Dutch) at the publishers site by clicking the >> behind the dish.
On Boxing Day I take care for another menu, this time for five people.
Hopefully I can manage to take pictures then.

Merry Christmas,

Merry Christmas!
