DINNER FOR TWO - PANDEMIC DINING WITH A FRIEND

 Recently a friend and I got together for a dinner, prepared by me. Here is the menu:

Scallops Gratinée

Roasted Quail wrapped in Prosciutto and Grape Leaves

    with  Port Sauce and Grapes and Cherries

Couscous with a confetti of vegetables 

(zucchini, carrots, yellow bell pepper, red onion)

Roasted Whole Carrots with Sumac and Zatar

Tarte Tatin with Crème Fraîche

Perrier-Jouet Champagne


Does that sound like a meal you would enjoy?

Here are a few photographs. The Tarte Tatin got sliced before the photo happened.
