STARTER: Hot Tuna Sandwich
|
|
|
The combination of tuna, mayonnaise, and melted cheese brings together textures and flavors that are both rich and satisfying, while baking it in the oven creates a crisp exterior with a warm, gooey center. It's the ideal upgrade for a classic tuna sandwich, elevating it into a dish that's comforting, yet just a bit indulgent.

MAIN COURSE: Salmon with Spinach in Cream Sauce
|
|
|
In classic French cooking, dishes with creamy sauces are often associated with the term “à la crème.” Spinach with cream (épinards à la crème) has been served since at least the 18th century, and pairing it with fish like salmon became popular as a way to balance richness with freshness.

DESSERT: Croissants
|
|
|
Croissants, though famously French, actually trace their roots to Vienna, Austria! Their ancestor is the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century. Legend says Viennese bakers created it to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Turks — the crescent shape imitating the symbol on the Ottoman flag.

Soft yeast dough surrounds a juicy meat filling, creating a crispy golden outside and tender center. They are perfect as a snack, lunch, or party food. The filling idea is adapted from a traditional meat doughnut recipe.
