A longtime favorite at Le Bec-Fin, Galette de Crabe is a wow-'em dish ideal for a sophisticated soirée or a kick-back chill-out night at home. The dish works either as a superb hors d'oeuvre or a tasty light main dish. Le Bec Fin's classic French rendition shown here unaltered from the one used in the restaurant has maximum oomph in warm-weather seasons. Garden salads and cheeses served with any smooth white wine serve as smart accompaniments for this versatile dish. Freshness of ingredients is paramount. To earn his or her kudos, the toque-wearer must seek and use fresh shrimp, crabmeat, endives, and haricots verts.
