Eat like a genius

Yesterday, December 10th, was the night of the Nobel Prize Ceremony. No, I was not invited (this time either). I can't say I'm particularly interested, but it is a very big deal in Sweden. Here's the menu - I'll have to get back to you on actual recipes, they're usually posted in the Swedish newspapers a couple of days after the awards. It doesn't sound very difficult this year. (Although, admittedly, it sounds harder in French than it did in Swedish.)

MENU

Faux filet de veau et son jus au vin rouge, meli-melo de tubercules et gâteau de pommes de terre (veal)
