I must work on my salmon colors...
Yesterday was a glorious preview of Holiday caviars and salmon from Petrossian.
Salmon colors in many forms, shapes and consistencies.
Teaspoons of caviar decorated many different dishes
Here on poached quail eggs with crusty polenta lining the plate...
These puff balls look like truffles but in fact burst in your mouth full of caviar crème.
In the next room the caviar degustation awaits.
A 'flight' of 9 caviars starting with the 'reserve', delicate and not too salty.
9 popsicle stick tastes later we're feeling on top of the world.
There's a wide variety of dreamy Petrossian gift boxes including this keep-it-to-yourself box including requisite vodka.
What to wear to a caviar tasting?
Black + a slew of Russian-style baubles worn by Coco Jobard, a food designer.

Lastly miniature desserts to cleanse the palette.
Then down the steps...back to reality. Still one keeps dreaming sweet dreams of caviar and Champagne

Never tasted caviar, but you make it look good!

My dear friend leaves Thursday night Paris bound.. destination.. Les Halles district I think..She came for a visit today:)
Such elegance! Such delicacies! I'm afraid to say, though, I like my fish cooked.
ReplyDeleteThe salmon is smoked so 'cooked' in a way...

Next time I'm in Paris, I want to go on a tour like this one!
ReplyDeleteYvonne
If only there were a tour like this...
DeleteI'd go everyday or perhaps every other...
J'adore the crazy wild necklaces of Coco!
ReplyDeleteHow perfect
Caviar and salmon aside, I love the bold necklaces worn by Coco. Every time I try to go over the top with my jewelry, my daughters say R E A L L Y??? Perhaps it is my combinations :) If you name is Coco, how could you not pull it off! Carolyn
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteAnd some of those are from Coco Chanel no less
Your posting & delicieux photos definitely warrants a visit to Petrossian toute de suite!
ReplyDeleteOh my- this looks such a sensational event, I would love, love, love it. Everything looks amazing- savoury and sweet.

Well! I am thinking you might be the happiest blogger in Paris! What a lovely event and being the salmon lover I am, I would be in seventh heaven!
ReplyDeleteWould love to have been with you on this escapade as I do love caviar. You seem to get to do the most exciting things.
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW! Most of all, you continue to amaze me! Your salmon watercolor looks perfect to me. I could be accused of grand theft lox at any and all bar/bat mitzvahs. That is a color I definitely know!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
XOXO,
