Gratin of potatoes with morels and yellow wine
For this delicious and very tasty morel mushroom and vin jaune gratin, we're staying in the spirit of the gratin Dauphinois, so no cheese, but with a double use of vin jaune: to sauté the morels, and in the cream that will be poured over the potatoes before cooking.

European glass
A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me). August 15th 2010247 K5 2 hours 30 min.
