My Aunt Jean asked me a while ago about doing a dinner for her and some of her friends. So I have been studying the menus at "The French Laundry", Thomas Keller's restaurant and decided I would do a dinner similar in approach to Keller's. There will be 9 courses 2 appetizer, 2 seafood, 1 vegetarian, 2 red meat and 2 dessert. One of the dessert courses will be a Rootbeer Creme Brulee'. My interpretation will include a bottom layer of Rootbeer Panna Cotta with a top layer of vanilla Creme Brulee'. I made my firt Panna Cotta this weekend and It came out great. There will be some interesting challenges trying to do very small courses but it should be fun.
