Aurora Takes a Holiday!?!

Beginning July 22 – July 30, Avner and I (and the rest of the family) are going to do something unheard of for the Samuels – we are going to Europe for VACATION! Of course, it’s impossible to drag Avner away from the kitchen too long, so while we are there, we are going to check out the latest and greatest in "New French" cuisine. And since food is such an important part of the Samuels' life, we would like to share our experience of traveling through what we know best -- food. So check out our daily blog to see the world through Avner's eyes.

PLEASE NOTE: Aurora will be closed July 22 and reopen July 30 for dinner.

Ever had French Daurade?



Eating lunch at Colomb D'or, a phenomenal restaurant/inn frequented by artists over the century, including such luminaries as Renoir. We chose not to eat in the gardens as we wanted a little more shade. For my meal I dined on a delicately seasoned French Daurade followed by frais du bois. Avner chose fresh figs with procuitto followed by baked turbot. Although both were nice, but I thought mine was prettier, so I chose to share it with you.
