Vive la France en Australie du Sud
Guests dressed in 18th century French Revolution fashion will feast of an array of classic dishes prepared by InterContinental Hotel’s sous chef, French-born Frederick Boussard at the Bastille Day Gala Dinner on July 14.
Frederick has selected a mix of seafood including Tasmanian salmon and South Australian smoked Huon salmon to create
one of seven entrees – tartare de saumon a la ciboulette et aux capres. Shark will be the basic seafood for Requin a l’armoricaine, one of eight choices for plat de Resistance. Including classic beef and chicken dishes.
It’s the one A-list event when Adelaide’s French-Australian community and Francophiles alike kick up their heels to celebrate Vive La France. This year the Governor of South Australia, Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce and Mrs Scarce will be honoured guests at the event organised by the French Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry South Australia to celebrate France’s
national day.
State Opera of South Australia opera singer Deborah Caddy will entertain guests and deputy head master of Brighton High,
Jeff Kong will accompany her on the piano.
Guests can choose to wear 18th century costumes to provide a spectacular fashion show. However, the highlight of the event will undoubtedly be the French menu par excellence. Entrées will be followed byPlat de Resistance of eight choices including Poulet roti a la fleur de thym, gousse d’ail rotie entiere and Lentilles vertes du Puy a la moutarde de Meaux. It would be a brave French chef who did not include a mushroom dish in a French banquet and Boussard has included Poelee de champignons de Paris. Dessert will be dedicated to sweetness with classic French favourites include Selection de macarons maison and crème caramel among six choices as well as a plateau de fromages sponsored by Calendar Cheese.
MC will be media identity Tim Noonan and proceeds of the night which begins with two Kir aperitifs, will go to the Christchurch Appeal.
