Menu Régional: Provence

Today our group sat down to lunch for the Menu de Provence, each dish prepared by us and eaten by us (with wine from Provence of course: one Rosé and 2 bottle of Reds) - we all worked really hard from 8 am - 1 pm, and we all deserved a good relaxing lunch!

Cheers! (From left to right): Rosella, Isabel, Yi Yu, Dionisis, Roberto, Matan, Maniko, Natalia, Chef Antoine, Carolina, Joppe and Sinan -- yes I am taking the picture!

  1. The chef in kitchen 132 threw out the sorbet. He tasted it, liked it and then threw it away! It's interculinary politics, real grease-ball stuff.
