Easter with Elle à table

I was on vacation the week before Easter, and had plenty of time to plan a real feast for the holiday.

I had fun doing something I had never done before: taking a complete menu from a food magazine and preparing it dish by dish.

My Easter menu was culled from Elle à table and I followed it à la lettre -- at least to the degree that is possible in my kitchen!

This means I even used the 17-step countdown (compte à rebours), which told me what to do "a few days before," "the day before," and on the big day!

Was it worth it? Come back to Cuisine Quotidienne over the next few days for the rundown!
