A Haunted Table & Some French Inspiration

Hope everyone had a haunting Halloween weekend!  Putting the piles of bite-sized candy aside, here are a few decidedly "deadly" dishes for your next black-out dinner party from Jewels of New York.

And to start your week off with a bit of Monday morning day-dreaming, a few photos from the Parisian kitchen of Charles and Julie Carmignac - tucked in their cozy lower Left Bank 19th century apartment.  Makes you just want to whisk yourself away on a French sojourn doesn't it?

  
Just this weekend, the New York Times noted Paris as the hottest culinary spot in Europe at the moment and highlighted Rino, an uber-hip bistro that opened last February near the Bastille with Roman-transplant chef Giovanni Passerini at the helm.
