Madeleine's French Dinner

Eric and Haja Moutard, owners of Madeleine’s on Strawberry Alley, recently welcomed 40 very lucky diners for a multicourse French dinner.

Guests sat down to what would be five courses like they probably had not experienced in Clarksville, as Haja brings a mix of classic and modern ideas in French cooking to the table.

Highlights of the meal included a spinach friand, a mini French-style muffin made with almond meal, A fromage plate featuring an assortment of cheeses served on a bed of greens, drizzled with a house vinaigrette, and Baba au Whiskey for dessert.

The entree for the evening was Coq au Vin (rooster and wine) served with tagliatelle, a traditional Italian pasta cut into long flat ribbons. Coq au Vin is a classic French recipe that combines chicken, bacon and Cognac, with red wine, chicken stock and mushrooms.

Eric and Haja Moutard plan on offering this type of event on a regular basis. Madeleine’s is located at 100 Strawberry Alley. For information, call (931) 378-5539.
