This week’s lineup goes full festive — rich roasts, buttery pastas, and elegant French bistro comfort built for Christmas week and long, cozy dinners. Some of my faves include:
Mushroom Stroganoff: Silky cremini cream sauce tossed with homemade pappardelle and finished with whipped crème fraîche great for a dinner leading up to the big day
Herb-Crusted Prime Rib: Rosemary-garlic crusted prime rib served with creamy horseradish and red wine au jus — a true holiday showstopper
Duck au Poivre: Aged duck breast and crispy confit leg with cracked pepper heat, citrus-glazed carrots, and classic French indulgence
Hope you enjoy and Merry Christmas!🎄 — Rhys
