"Whom the gods love die young," may well be said of salads, as well as of mankind. So that it may be eaten in all its virgin tenderness and crispness Salade Rachel is brought to the table fresh from the hands of its creator—cool, crisp and comforting.
"Life is so brief that we should not glance either too far backward or forward in order to be happy. Let us, therefore, study how to fix our happiness in our glass and on our plate."
—Grimrod de la Reyniere
Crepes Suzette
