It seems that Giada should take her new show, Behind the Bash, to something other than a Hollywood party or extravagant wedding. There are many events that have cultural significance in addition to great food. The Nobel Prizes, for example, were awarded yesterday and a great feast with 1300 guests was held - a fete worthy of wider recognition. The Nobel Prize organisation seems to know this because not only do they have the menus from this banquet from 1901 to 2005, they also have chronicled the history of the event decade by decade. The first dinner included hors d'oeuvres, poached brill with a white wine sauce, beef filet and grouse with Madeira sauce, followed with ice cream and fruit tart. This year's menu included crayfish panna cotta with scallops and lobster, Ptarmigan breast with mushrooms, caramelised apples, poached onions and broad beans and, to finish, lemon and yogurt mousse with raspberries and raspberry sauce.

[Thanks Anne, for the heads up]

I'll try to remember to get a review of the food for you. I work in the same place as Jan Hall (JILA) and my ma works with his daughter. One of us should be able to find out if the food was good.
