In this episode of Today's Gourmet, Jacques Pepin prepares a menu derived from the South of France and it is especially easy on the eyes. He starts off with a terrine, a fantastic dish using layers of eggplant, red pepper, and brie molded into a loaf and cut into slices so you can view the gorgeous strata. Next he prepares a fresh and healthy wine-poached red snapper with leeks and cucumber garnish. He rounds out the meal with an elegant "omelet" soufflé dessert, similar to Baked Alaska. You may be intimidated to attempt a soufflé, but Jacques is here to walk you through it, step by step. Happy cooking!
