bonne Fête Nationale:
celebrating La Fête Nationale with the colors of summer fruit
(and a little eau-de-vie)
In France, July 14 is La Fête Nationale or commonly known as Bastille Day. It is a national celebration, much like our July 4th, with military demonstrations, concerts, fireworks, and food. Using the colors of the French flag as our inspiration, this week our simple pleasureis the celebration of Bastille Day with a summer dessert: eau de-vie marinated cherries with blueberry sorbet and cherry brandy whipped cream. Bonne Fête Nationale !
