Chère Tammie, Un immense merci pour ce magnifique commentaire qui me touche sincèrement. Ce fut un véritable plaisir de créer spécialement pour vous ce menu fusion asiatique-français et de participer à la célébration de votre 50e anniversaire. Savoir que vous et vos amis venus de Norvège et des États-Unis avez apprécié chaque étape du dîner est pour moi la plus belle des récompenses. Nous garderons également un excellent souvenir de cette soirée, de votre bonne humeur et de tous ces moments de partage… même avec l’aide de Google Translate ! 😊 La cuisine est aussi un langage universel, et cette soirée en était une belle illustration. Merci pour votre confiance, votre gentillesse et votre recommandation. J’espère sincèrement avoir le plaisir de cuisiner à nouveau pour vous lors d’un prochain séjour en France. Bien chaleureusement, Chef Nelson Neveu
