A Romantic Dinner

Jacques presents a different way to serve oysters—first poached, then made into a gratin—in Gratin of Breaded Oysters. This dish is followed by Pan-Seared Flank Steak–steak marinated in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, garlic, coriander and cayenne pepper. It is served with Caramelized Mushrooms with Shallots. Raspberry Velvet, served in stemmed glasses, ends the meal.
