A tart within a tart. The shells made from almond tuiles with a touch of rosemary.
The larger of the two is filled with rosemary and thyme poached apricots, and sprinkled with caramelized slivered almonds. The next tuile goes inside, and is filled with thyme flavored cream. A sprig of thyme and a few more almonds.
On the plate, tiny cubes of jellied sauternes, and sage syrup.
Well, I'm not too good with vintage years, but I'd try a good Sauternes with this, or Tokai.

Shroom...Everything sounds so good!
May I comment on the wine? The Champange might have a battle with the complex flavores of the shrimp course. I might think about a Chard or vignorer with tropical fruit notes. Then I would introduce a lighter style red with the veal, Perhaps a Fluire? That would also carry through the salad course. Perhaps for the dessert I would lean towards a vin santo or boytritis wine.The lemon and syrup cry out for it.I love port! But I would see itself better suited to chocolate or cooked red or black fruits.Does this make sense ?

I like this kind of topic.
Seared maple-glazed foie gras with apple-bacon-sage chutney and baby greens with hazelnut vinaigrette. Crisp-fried sage leaves for garnish.
Wine is sauternes
Red-wine braised short ribs cooked with lots of whole rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, carrots, cippoline onions. Use good cabernet, reduce, puree, strain the braising liquid. Serve on soft polenta with smoked provolone.
Pick a good hearty red wine.
i wish i was having this for dinner.
for dessert--chocolate. no herbs.
thanks for such a fun topic,cc

Here goes, an Israely-Italian dinner. I chose beers instead of wines to match:
***
Grilled Tuna and Cherry Tomatoes Kababs Skewered on Rosmery Sprigs with a Pool of Parslied Tahini
Hoegraarden Speciale Bie're Blanche Dore'e
***
Entree: Calve's Liver Saute'ed in Sage Butter with Fava Bean Ravioli and Suger Snap Peas
Eldridge Pope 1994 Thomas Hardy's Ale
***
Thymed Honey-Yougurt PanaCota served over Apples cooked in White Wine
De Dolle Brouwers' Oerbier
***
After this dinner you'll need a bath. Make an infusion of Lavender, Rosemary, Verbena and Oregeno. Add this to your bath tub. Ahhh, the good life.

tina..no student is lowly..
I like your post,only I would try not to repeat the same main ingrediant in more than one course i.e pineapple salsa and pineapple mousse.
I like the first course..althought it's southwest meets hawaii meets the middle east. maybe sub jicama for the pineapple and use blue corn chips instead of pita,then you will be using items assosiated with a particular regien
Sharhar...very creative!!!
Pool of tahini?
do you finish it with a broth or such to give it a liquid appeal? or are you spooning it out on the plate and flatning it out with a spoon?
