How do I create a truly delightful dessert?
Start with a sweet, airy meringue baked to cloud like perfection.
Fill it with a dark, rich bittersweet chocolate mousse.
Gently float it (yes, upside down!) on a silky pool of Grand Marnier infused
crème anglaise.
Finish with a jewel of orange confit and delicate chocolate shavings. WOW!!
An elegant twist on a classic my Île Flottante Surprise is light, luxurious, and just a little dramatic.
Who’s ready for dessert?

Who needs a restaurant when the table comes to your home?
C'est la Fête catered a private Mediterranean dinner for 6, thoughtfully customized from the first course to the last bite.
Starting with warm cheesy gougères puffs to pair with a celebratory anniversary champagne toast!
A mid Eastern platter with homemade hummus, baba ganoush, muhamara dip, warm pita wedges and zaàtar chips.
Followed by a crisp greens salad, seasonal blood orange segments, toasted almonds and a honey sweetened citrus vinaigrette.
The plates were overflowing with slow braised saffron spiced & apricot chicken tagine, aromatic vegetables , olive oil roasted chick peas, fluffy buttery couscous dotted with sweet currants soaking up every drop of the fragrant sauces!
A table that smelled like a market at sunset.
An intimate Mediterranean escape in your dining room!

This is the elaborate apetizers we served on our family vacation in the Virgin Islands, on a boat! My daughter Sasha and daughter in law Katie are fabulous sous chefs and oh much fun to cook with!
*Mini rice "cakes", a dollop of curry creme, a fine sliver of carrot, a small mango cube, a mint leaf, a slice of red pepper a finish of fresh grated ginger makes a delightful tropical bite!
* Quesadillas made with delicious vegetable salad leftovers and spicy homemade creamed black beans and melted jack cheese! yum!

Paris is my all time inspiration for lavish buffets and stylish tables! Just a grocers stall on the street is art work.
The tables are from one the oldest restaurant in Paris “la Perouse” a timeless beauty!!!
