We've chosen a delicious French stew, Daube of Beef, that gets its name from the vessel it cooks in. A daubiere of earthenware, stoneware or galvanized copper is used in France, but any heavy dutch oven will do. Our version of mashed potatoes comes from an old family recipe - the best we've ever tasted! We've chosen a citrus salad with a palate-cleansing dressing and a fruit dessert that is not overly sweet, but elegant enough for a dinner party. Both the stew and the poached pears can be done a day ahead (in fact, the stew tastes better that way), an added bonus for today's busy lifestyles.
