Spa cuisine

Four days at a spa is a relaxing experience. And not from the endless hands massaging, oiling, smoothing, exfoliating and whatever else they can come up with to do to your skin.

It's the food.

Each meal carefully prepared. Enough choices to make you think you're creating a menu but few enough to realize they've figured it all out.

Proportions small enough to remind you you're at a spa but flavor that smacks you in the face and says "French chef baby!!" I kept trying to remind myself to take pictures of the amazing presentations but would remember only after butchering it with one bite. Below is a picture of Quinoa Patties with roasted red pepper sauce and Arugula salad. My absolute favorite dish the entire weekend. And yes Stephane the French chef gave me the recipe after I had a nice little conversation in french with him. I'll be posting it after I've tried it myself!!
