Menu for Hope

After the tsunami hit a month ago, the extent of the disaster made us realize how much our help is needed now , for reconstruction . The survivors have the energy and the will to go on with their lives , and take a new start . They just need to feel the rest of the world is there to help and assist .
Thank you for the many friends who helped build this Menu for Hope , especially Alder and Pim ...

Here are the wine pairings I ( with the help of oenophiles ) suggest for the desserts :
For Julie Sahni's Jalebi :
Banyuls Cellier des Templiers Vieille Reserve , a red sweet wine . Should go with the crispy-spongy dessert from North India .Cherry flavor ; some coffee . Mighty and mineral, with a long lasting in the mouth .
For Lamingtons :
Macon, Domaine de la Bongran , cuvee botrytis 2000 . Nose : Crystallized citrus . A lot of freshness . This is a bet, but it may suit well to this dessert .
