Quiche Lorraine for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Quiche Lorraine for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The elegantly balanced profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced thyme used that way before.

French cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. I explained the a Parisian bistro context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. Burgundy red wine was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
