A New Year's dinner
Foie gras, seared breast of duck with pear chutney and pomegranate glaze, sweet potato pancakes, salad of fennel, English cucumber and pear thinly sliced and marinated in olive oil, Meyer lemon juice and zested rind with Moroccan oil-cured black olives, a nice chunk of cheddar, a Meyer lemon/meringue tart, all with Champagne.
Coconut milk/Chai truffles with espresso, and Armagnac, later.
