The French Paradox Party

My dearest and best friend Gianna celebrated her birthday this past weekend with the most amazing, unique and of course fun party idea, The French Paradox. This idea is based on the question of why the French are so thin yet they eat the richest, most delicious food (bread, cheese, butter, chocolate, etc). Well, one theory is because of the delicious organic wine that is grown in that country (which is the idea that us girls decided was the best. . . not the smaller portions, fresh produce, active lifestyle, etc).

Sunday night, 10 of us girls joined together to celebrate Gianna... she had arranged for an amazing French chef, Gael Lecolley (Your Chef Network), to not only cook us a mouthwatering meal but also TEACH us how to make it. While, G's amazing husband acted as our Sommelier. With each course our glasses were full with perfectly matched wine and champagne.

G, thank you so much for such an amazing evening
of friendship, laughter paired perfectly with food and wine! May this year bring you happiness and joy beyond all your dreams (look below for the slide show)

Love,

A
