Dinner at La Petite Auberge

One of the most outstanding culinary experiences of my life transpired Thursday night in the tiny town of Saint Didier sur Arroux, in Burgundy, France.

In a village of only sixteen permanent residents, lies an epicurean treasure, La Petite Auberge. Patrons are asked to divulge information about the foods they do not like, so that the chef can leave these items out of his bespoke menu. Each guest is served an exquisite meal according to the chef’s whim, sans any ingredients disagreeable to the diner’s palate.

Here’s what unfolded on the table before me…

An Aperitif

Beet Salad and Carrot Soup

Confit de Legumes

Fresh Roasted Vegetables

Yogurt Cake With Beet Sorbet
