Help please! (menu translation) [moved from France]

[karinl]

I would like to translate our wedding reception menu into English and don't know if I have done justice to its original wording in French. If anyone could take a look and give your opinion, I'd really appreciate it! I tried to keep it accurate but wanted to make the translation as delicious and elegant sounding as possible.

Thanks for the suggestions and corrections everyone. That's exactly what I need to know before printing 80+ menus!

I would describe the potatoes in the casserole as crushed or smashed, just to be a bit more descriptive

Orzo is barley "orge", in French. Langues d'oiseaux are pasta.

I grew up in an english speaking country picking mushrooms we called cepes, and not porcini. C'est selon, I suppose.

[vielleanglaise]

Why has this been moved from the France board? I think that's where you'll find more French speakers.

Maybe keep "macaron" as it is....just so they aren't confused with the coconut ones?

It sounds delicious. I beleive that "porcini" woudl be more recognizable to English-speakers than cepes, and that the 6 gateaux are cakes - or pastries
