The piece de resistance of this salad is the goat cheese medallion that’s been tossed in Herbs de Provence before being breaded and pan-fried. The medallion tops a salad with Boston Bibb lettuce, beets, and a mustard vinaigrette

Coq Au Vin

Salade de Chèvre Chaud

Translating to “rooster with wine,” Coq au Vin is a quintessential French chicken stew. Chicken thighs are cooked in a red wine sauce with mushrooms, pearl onions, and herbs. Don’t worry, the rich stew is served with bread, so you can soak up every last bit. 


Vegan: Potato Fondant with mushrooms, onions, warm spinach, seared onions and a balsamic reduction.  Gluten-free: GF Coq Au Vin

In France, lamb is often paid with chickpeas or ratatouille, so David is pairing his with both! He’s taken socca, which is typically a crispy flatbread made with chickpea flour, David is making his socca into a crepe that he fills with his eggplant-less version of ratatouille (David is not a fan of eggplant) and swiss chard.

Pears have a long history in France, with pear trees being a distinguishing feature of aristocratic gardens during the 15th century. As such, they’re featured in a lot of French dishes. In this dessert, pears are cooked down with cardamom, cinnamon, and clover before being wrapped in phyllo dough and baked. But it’s the crème de marrons,

About the Chef

David Rowe

David grew up in Northern Vermont, near French Quebec. As a child, he didn’t realize how much of the French influence he’d absorbed. In fact, he didn’t even like French food. 


But a few months in Paris, his love affair with French cuisine began.

David began cooking professionally over 30 years ago. He initially worked in restaurants in Telluride, Colorado, and Burlington, Vermont, where he learned the basics of cooking and restaurant management.  


After spending time in Paris and other parts of France, David moved to New York City to work as the chef of Paradou, a small French Provencal cafe. Working with an entirely French staff, a true francophile was forged.  With many more trips to France, a new culinary philosophy emerged focusing on market-driven cuisine and cutting-edge culinary techniques. David went on to work in Michelin star and James Beard awarded restaurants. 


Currently, he makes homemade pasta at Lila Lila. This summer, David will start as a chef at Elise, a new French fine-dining restaurant by Chef Craig Richards.
