SUMMARY:Babette’s Feast
DESCRIPTION:From a fictional fjord community in Norway in 1871 to present-day North Carolina (and the world over), Isak Denison’s classic short story called Babette’s Feast has inspired many meals at tables set with extravagant love. The predominant theme of Babette’s Feast is how food prepared with intentionality and gratitude in the context of a shared meal can transform the hearts of people.\nIn this meal we have opportunity to consider, as the epic theologian von Balthasar observed, “that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.” Contend for Beauty, we must.\nBabette’s Feast is a progressive dinner (see menu below) honoring some of the great culinary treasures of France, and French cuisine. Prepared by an award-winning North Carolina chef,  with help from Sous Chef Eddie Van Eerden, and served up in the Homestead’s Great Room and Semper Fi Hall by a team of the area’s most earnest waiters and waitresses, this meal promises to be one you will long remember.\nCurated conversation between each course will explore the ways in which “mercy and truth meet together,” as Denison proposes: how “righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another.” Our intention is to infuse the evening with gifts for your spirit that, we hope, will transcend the gifts prepared for the delight of your senses.\n——-\nSample Menu\n——-\nHors D’oeuvres\nPuff Pastries Filled with Brie and Ham, Puff Pastries Filled with Camembert, Puff Pastries Filled with Blue Cheese and Wild Mushrooms\nWine Pairing: Brut\nPremier Cours (First Course)\nCreamy Potato and Leek Soup\nWith Basil Oil and Roasted Red Pepper Drizzle\nFresh French Bread\nPaired with White Wine\nDeuxième Cours (Second Course)\nSalmon en Papillote\nPaired with White Wine\nIntermezzo (Palate Cleanser)\nLemon-Lime Sorbet\nTroisième Cours (Third Course)\nCoq au Vin\nPaired with Pinot Noir\nQuatre Cours (Fourth Course)\nSteak au poivre (sous vide)\nPaired with Bordeaux\nCinquième Cours (Fifth Course)\nBeet and endive salad, with pears walnuts and goat cheese\nEntrement (Palate Cleanser)\nSixième Cours (Sixth Course)\nCoffee, Tea\nCrème brûlée\nSeptième Cours (Seventh Course)\nPort, Chartreuse\n \nRSVP\n \n
