Good news from your students in Buffalo, NY!

A few weekends ago, Nick and I ventured out to try and recreate the delicious meal we cooked with you when in Paris.  I called a local supermarket here in Buffalo and was ecstatic to learn that the meat department was expecting a delivery of four fresh rabbits that evening so they set one aside on reserve for me.  The rabbit we purchased from the butcher was decent but needless to say, nothing like Parisian quality meat!  Nick and I bought all the other necessary ingredients and to our very pleasant surprise our Lapin came out wonderfully!!  We served the rabbit with fresh olives from the store's "Olive Bar" and we cracked open a wonderful bottle of red Bordeaux that we brought back from Paris.  Of course, as you even mentioned yourself, no meal would be French without a loaf of bread so of course we had a nice French batard bread to accompany the dish.  I don't think a night could sound any better than that! 

We served the meal just for the two of us as we wanted to try it on our own first before serving to others.  Now that we know we can do it, we can't wait to have guests!  Let's just hope we can find some guests who are adventurous eaters and willing to give rabbit an honest try.  Thank you so much for teaching us this wonderful meal.  Not only was it sophisticated and delicious but something that we could do ourselves - which is of course very important.  We can't wait to cook with you again on our next trip to Paris!

Merci beaucoup!!! 

Très Cordialement,
