Cordon Bleu (an adjective, not a recipe)

The words "cordon bleu" instantly conjure up chicken, baked to perfection in a creamy, white-wine sauce. 

Mouth-watering and tender, served with candlelight and shared with dear friends or the dearest of friends, my husband.

But cordon bleu refers to the best of whatever it describes: writing, music, art, decorating ...

Think of something that's cordon bleu in your life.
