A dish of potted salmon might sound a little more British than French, but David’s idea was to create a pink-on-pink meal. The potted salmon appetizer led off the evening paired with a rosé from Mirabeau Wine.

A perfect late summer appetizer – Financiers aux Courgettes (Zucchini Financiers)
Financiers aux Courgettes – little zucchini cakes – fit the pot luck bill perfectly.
