Souffle!

One of the culinary delights on our California trip was a perfect souffle served with Gran Marnier cream.  This was dessert at the Beausejour Restaurant in "downtown" Los Altos.  

Souffle is one of those things like profiteroles - there is no 100% guarantee that they will turn out the right way.  I've had souffle at a four star restaurant before; it looked great on the outside but I had to return it to the kitchen because it was watery inside.  In this case, it was perfect inside and out - a repeat performance too!   We were there two years ago and already decided then that we will return if only just for this dessert.  

The rest of the meal was okay, reasonably priced, attractively served but mediocre.  The souffle, however, is priceless!  Worth the trip!
