Jacques and Claudine create a French-American "fusion" celebration of the Independence Day and Bastille Day. A whole, poached Salmon is an easy, elegant way to feed a large group. It's followed by charming little crocks filled with Rillettes of Rabbit. For the main course: a whole Grilled Shoulder of Veal. For dessert, there's an all-American sponge cake soaked in sweet summer berries and brandy.
Smoked Trout, Chicken Galantine, Chocolate Cloud Cake and Cherry-Raspberry Pillow.
Salmon Steaks, Lamb Loins in Ambush, Leek-and-Mushroom Pie and fluffy Caramel Snow Eggs.
Oysters on the Half-Shell, Home-Smoked Salmon, Foie Gras, Braised Duck and Bûche de Noël.
