Music and Menus for Romance is a lavish feast of love, offering exquisitely planned menus for those special occasions -- whether a formal engagement dinner or an impromptu picnic. Among the 60 recipes are such tempting delicacies as Mussels with Pernod and Fennel; Smoked Salmon, Creme Fraiche and Caviar on Warm Potato Crostini; Lobster in a Sesame Dressing; Duck with Mango Sauce and Green Banana Relish; and Cherry Compote with Clotted Cream and Rose Petals. And to create the perfect mood, there is an accompanying CD of gorgeous music, including pieces by Chopin, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Puccini.
