No prizes for guessing that Phryne Fisher is Queen of the Flowers. The St Kilda Flower Parade is on, one of Phryne's adopted daughters is missing and one of her flower maidens has washed up dead on the beach. At least Phryne has a celebration dinner to look forward to at Anatole's after the parade - soup, fish, lamb and a peach dessert.
To celebrate Anatole's and in honour of the flower maidens, tonight's menu is French and predominantly white:
Devilled Scallops
Agneau Jardiniere
Passionfruit Souffle
Over the next 13 weeks, I'll be attempting a 1920s-inspired dinner to match Miss (Phryne) Fisher's Murder Mystery on ABC TV each Friday night. Most of these recipes first appeared in Melbourne's Argus or the Sydney Morning Herald in the 1920s. Since hotel dining rooms, restaurants and cafes invariably offered French dishes, I've also sourced recipes from Recipes of Boulestin and other French cookbooks of the period.
