Chanterelles and a Birthday Dinner



This aromatic fleshy wild mushroom shines like an exotic golden flower in autumn. Also known as "golden chanterelle" this golden "priced" delicacy has a magical appeal for most culinary experts, in particular my friend Susan who cooked up a lovely belated birthday for me last night featuring fresh from the market chanterelles.
Our chef sauteed them exquisitely in butter, garlic, chicken broth, and just a dash of cream.  These were served on top of perfectly bbq'd  by "Bob" filet mignon, and accompanied by asparagus and scalloped potatoes.  Divine!
Of course a birthday dinner would not be complete without the cake!!!!  Chocolate of course!!!
