Book Club Luncheon

Lynn's Book Club met at our house for their monthly luncheon and book discussion. This month's book was Jacqueline in Paris by Ann Mah. It's a novel about JFK's wife. And can you believe it, Lynn chose a French theme for lunch. Everything was French, from the opening champagne (Perrier-Jouet) to the homemade French apple tart (from a Paul Brocuse cookbook) with real whipped cream lightly spiked with Cointreau. The broccoli cheddar soup and the baguette épi de blé (which means "ear of wheat") came from the French Kitchen as did the French butter. That style baguette is perfect for tearing off a 1-serving size that can be easily dipped in the soup. The leftover baguettes were devoured by the family, another fam fave.
