Festive menus

The end of the year celebrations/parties are, for number of people, an opportunity to share with relatives and/or with friends. A moment we wish to share with you as well in a way. It took a long time to Patrick Asfaux to prepare the following 14 recipes : four different thematic menus which will, I am sure, make the good 'cuisine' connoisseurs delights.
A 'Menu for the Spendthrifts', for limited budgets but combining refinement and excellence, a 'Conviviality Menu' in which everything is prepared in advance so that you can spend most of your time with your guests, a 'Lasting Parties Menu ", refined but light because successive festive meals will follow during this period of the year, and a 'Carpe Diem Menu' if you can and choose to ignore calories and expenses.
Do not hesitate to pass this page to your friends.
We will now wait for your comments and your picture with impatience !
