Menu d'Erasmonius à l'HEC Lausanne

The following describes the menu of five courses which will be served for a select number of students during the month of January 2009. Students from the Erasmus program has been free to choose their own menu but in the following only slight deviations will occur from the more general, and fixed course, programs of the MSc in Economics and the MSc in Finance. As an integral part of the menu it is not expected that every student will finish the individual courses. Students on the Erasmus program should aim for consuming, at least, the minimum requirements at each course if they want to have their diploma in quantitative excellence transferred to their home cooking school.

The menu itself is an example of state of the art cooking mastery from the school of neo-classics (with a few notable exceptions). The menu will start with an entree followed by three main courses and a small dessert.  Each course will be accompanied by a suitable wine menu chosen by the corresponding head chef.

The menu includes, ad libitum, springwater (still and fizzy) from Eau de Calvin and homebaked bread.
