Les Petites Madeleines
Cindee and I had a free night from our Terra Madre dinners and chose to try out a restaurant down the street from our flat in Torino. The name of the restaurant is Les Petites Madeleines and is part of the Turin Palace Hotel. We had a very enjoyable dinner with a bit of mystery as we chose the Chef's Tasting menu. It was seven courses and we had no idea what was coming at us. Below is the result. Also, given there was no menu for the Chef's Tasting to follow, I am going by memory as to what each dish is composed of and likely am missing some details.

| We were served Vermouth as an apperitif (also a good appetite stimulant) |
 |
| Olive Oil with Bread |
 |
| Amuse Bouche - eel in a bernaise sauce with smoked apple |
 |
| Excellent Barolo |
 |
| Poached Egg in a sauce with mushrooms and cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano I think?) |
 |
| Sweet breads, shrimp, grilled nectarine |
 |
| Risotto with Clams and a Misting of Japanese Citrus |
 |
| Scallops with Roe |
 |
| Lake Trout with Pesto, Radish, Carrot, and Beet |
