On December 1, 1906, the world’s first cinema house opened in Paris, the Cinema Omnia Pathe. From the opening of the world’s first cinema I found myself via a bit of logical leaping at the film Babette’s Feast, and used the grand meal in the film as an inspiration for the night's menu.
Comments from some of our guests:
"We really enjoyed our evening--both the excellent food and the engaging company. It was a lot of fun, too, to read what went into the meal's preparation on your blog. I would have written sooner, but we've just returned from a whirlwind two days in Mendoza spent for the most part at wineries large and small. It really is wonderful down here, and we're jealous that you're in Argentina full-time. Good luck with Casa SaltShaker, and we hope to come again!" - G.W.
"Amazing and fun!" - K.M.
"I know you got some bad feelings from our group, but I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the food. It was definitely not what we expected, but I think we hoped it would be the feast from the movie. I know that's not realistic for the price we paid. Don't let the comments on ECC depress you, VA is rude about everything." - Anonymous by request
