cosmopolicioius, I used semi-dried figs instead of fresh. I keep a supply in our fridge…

foie gras, figs and sauternes? simply divine.
where do you get your fresh figs from?

This was definitely so incredibly good! As a big fan of foie, like Katrina, I was looking forward to being able to have "seconds" of this dish :) I thought the pairing with the sauternes worked brilliantly!

You are too kind, Estella! I was given the opportunity to open one with two other guys but my boys were just too little back then and motherhood won over in a hearbeat!!! Besides, just like Silly Lolo, I am not business savvy like MM…I am contented with just preparing these dishes for my “guinea pigs”…hahaha…my hubby and my 2 big boys! But when I get the itch to work in an industrial kitchen, I just help my really good friends …two of my mentors, Regis and Nadine…with their catering when they have one….it’s like OLD TIMES and we have soooooooo much fun doing so!

Just yesterday I was staring at a pack of foie gras at Santis Rockwell, contemplating a replication of a foie gras dinner a la Market Man. But I balked at the thought of ending up with some clumsily deveined, burnt, shrivelled liver. But this post is giving me the courage, plus the fact that I still have a bottle of sauternes left from that dinner... This is the most helpful, straightforward instructional on foie gras I've read, MM! Also, I can't thank you enough for hosting a most wonderful, memorable dinner!

As the reason for the dinner, we definitely enjoyed seeing how MM scored and seared the foie, plus the bonus of seeing Katrina sear her first foie.
