THE RECIPES:
Here are some similar recipes to what I served in the video so that you can host your own Summer Dinner Party inspired by ours!
YELLOW GAZPACHO SOUP (For Red Gazpacho use Red Tomatoes)
PRINT RECIPE HERE bit.ly/2SrMm9V
ROASTED BEET SALAD:
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
8-10 roasted beets (to roast cover in aluminum foil and roast at 425F until tender, about 40-50 mins)
1Tbsp tsp Dijon Mustard
1 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
juice of 1 ruby red grapefruit
6-8 Tbsp Grapeseed oil
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
Crumbled blue cheese (optional)
METHOD:
Remove skin from beets, and cut into small chunks. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
For the dressing, in a small bowl combine the mustard, vinegar, and grapefruit juice. Then slowly add the oil in a steady stream whisking all the while until combined.
Place the beets in a shallow serving bowl, drizzle dressing over beets, top with shallots and mint (crumbled blue cheese on top is also great!)
MARINATED SMOKED SALMON WITH CITRUS ( Featured In this video • French Market Tour + L... )
Serves 8 as a starter
INGREDIENTS:
24 oz Smoked Salmon
2 Ruby Red Grapefruit
2 Navel Orange
1 Lemon
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Freshly Cracked Pepper
2 Tablespoon Fresh Dill
2 Teaspoon Pink Peppercorns
METHOD:
Drape the smoked salmon, by the slice, on a platter or across 2 platters. Drizzle the salmon with Olive Oil. Squeeze half a grapefruit over the salmon, reserving the other whole grapefruit for the segments. Squeeze a small amount of lemon juice on top.
Segment the grapefruit and orange and place the segments on top of the salmon. Then add a few slices of lemon. Add freshly cracked pepper, dill, and pink peppercorns. Et voila! Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 hour.
FOR THE GATEAU APERO
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
3 eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup oil (Grapeseed, or Vegetable)
1 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 goat cheese crumbled
2 Tbsp Fresh dill, minced
Other Mixins:
Green Olives/Ham
Chorizo
Sundried Tomato/Mozzarella/Basil
Zucchini/Emmental Cheese/Chive
Cheddar Cheese/Bacon
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 375F (185C). Grease a loaf pan with baking spray and set it aside. I used a pan that was 22cmL x 10cmH x 7cmD so roughly 8.5" x 4" , which is smaller than most 9"x5" standard American loaf pans. So your bread may not rise as high, or need as much time baking as mine if using this larger pan. It may be done in 20 mins as opposed to 25 mins.
Whisk together wet ingredients, set aside. Then whisk together dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir. Add in cheese and dill or other mix-ins. Bake for 25 mins.
FOR THE BROCHETTES:
entertainingwi...
DIJON TARRAGON POTATO SALAD:
It's basically this recipe below, but swap the herbs for fresh Tarragon, omit the bacon, and add caramelized shallots. (4 shallots, sliced and sauteed in olive oil, S/P to taste, and a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end)
entertainingwi...
EASY STRAWBERRY DESSERTS:
This is one of the easiest! Yummy and beautiful!

We had many dinner parties and consumed much wine,bread,cheese, and charcuterie!

You just have to jump right in, knowing there will be mistakes, goofs and occasional epic fails (Oh I've had them too!) but that's when we learn the most! And where I get the best tips, from all my own the fails! :) And then it's always such fun to bring those experiences back to you all as tips :)

BUT so do other places in the world if you seek out artisan/homemade things found at farm stands, co-ops or Farmer's Markets. And really, no one will know the difference! Just be sure to hide the soup bottles before everyone arrives ha!

    I was hoping you would share the 16 dinner guest for dinner when you mentioned it in your last video! I have been entertaining for years, but never for 16 people! You pulled this off effortlessly! I love your videos from France and enjoy living vicariously through you!!!

    I learned that early on at my job that involves event planning. I determine the menu options and quantity based on volume of men vs women. Like if I do boxed lunch meals. I have to add more Italian deli and the Roastbeef sandwiches if there is more men and are under 60. The women of any age and much older men go for fish, vegetarian or poultry meals.

    Love your videos as always. You give so much fantastic commentary and ideas. Definitely going to be trying some of these, and what a wonderful host. I’m sure everyone came back for more because it sounds delicious I’m not only that you are so warm and welcoming. you truly are a wonderful person with so much zest and personality. I love the sound of the flowers, the candles and even the sparkling lights. You give such incredible descriptions and it really sets the mood and gives me so much enjoyment. Not being able to see as I’m totally blind, it really brings everything to life for me, so thank you for making your videos sparkle

    I’m enjoying your videos so much. My hubby and I bought and renovated a apartment in Nice three years ago we always loved the French Rivera so took the plunge and bought. We live in Canada so with covid been stuck not getting to France but plan to come in sept so excited. We often drive to Provence and stay for a weekend love it there. You have given me a little bit of French happiness thru your video. Love how you have renovated your home. So beautiful. Maybe we will rent from you one day with our family. Thank you 😊 again for your helpful tips about French life 🥰❤️👍🏻😎
