The Chef's Table

One of the joys of taking a cruise occurs when the ship offers something akin to what Princess Cruises calls "The Chef's Table." On the Ruby Princess it involves a trip back to the kitchens to see how the meals are prepared. Of course there are samples, ice carving, sugar sculptures and other delights to tickle the palate before one even sits down at the table. When that moment finally arrives, one is seated at a luxurious formal table setting with wines paired for each course. My problem was that though I never drink in excess, I was so preoccupied with the interesting table conversation that the steward continued to refill my wine glasses without my being aware of it. No wonder it was such a delightful meal! The desserts were works of art. The whole meal was a memorable experience.Meer informatie
