I would like to thank Natasha of 5 Star Foodie Culinary Adventures for the motivation to makeover my living room into a French Bistro by inviting Taste With The Eyes to participate in the 5 Star Makeover Summer’10 Special! She has asked 10 bloggers to Guest Post over the summer and recreate classic dishes to share on her 5 Star Foodie blog. I am honored to be one of the 10! Thank you Natasha.
We’ve cooked Bistro Duck and Wild Mushrooms Two Ways; CLASSIC and CONTEMPORARY. It was great fun setting the table and searching the house for bistro-style props. We especially enjoyed the makeover: creating le plat du jour. Now both of these duck dishes have a place on le menu at Bistro Lori Lynn.
Bonsoir! Right this way. Your table’s waiting…

As always, beautiful presentation of food and ambiance!
It seems that duck is on the menu in your kitchen. Your presentation is lovely.
Wow, the table, the food–it all looks absolutely gorgeous. My compliments to the chef, and to the decorator!
Table ambiance plays a huge part in setting the stage for the evening. A wonderful meal completes the scene, and it looks like you have gone above and beyond with this one!
Lori Lynn’s Bistro looks so inviting, and the duck entree is gorgeous!
Great job~
I would be a frequent client of Lori Lynn Bistro !!!
The duck is great in both presentations….very sophisticated !!! (I posted one duck recipe before the flan, but very simple in comparison)
You are really gifted Lori Lynn…All my admiration!
Congrats to you. That’s awesome!
Your duck looks divine.
How pretty! Duck is so difficult to get it right and you have done it beautifully
Chez Lori Lynn looks beautiful, and that duck ain’t bad looking either!

Beautiful recipe. Gorgeously presented dishes. That duck looks cooked to perfection.
